THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.1723 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner purchased 783 square yards of land in Survey No.135/8A and 3C of Kurmannapalem, Gajuwaka Mandal, Visakhapatnam District. He has also constructed a house, which is assigned No.31-1-1/29/2. His grievance is that the respondents are trying to dispossess him from the house without initiating any proceedings or issuing notice. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. It may be true that the land in Survey No.135 is held by the Government. However, the circumstances under which the petitioner has purchased it need to be verified. That would be possible, if only, the proceedings under the relevant enactment such as the Andhra Pradesh Land Encroachment Act, 1905 are initiated. There cannot be any justification for the respondents in trying to dispossess the petitioner from the house. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that the respondents shall not interfere with or otherwise proceed against the house of the petitioner referred to above without initiating any proceedings in accordance with law. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J Dt:05.02.2010 kdl
