P.Aruna FOR MR.C.RAMESH SAGAR Counsel for Respondent Nos.1 to 4:NONE APPEARED Counsel for Respondent Nos.5 and 6: MR. G.ELISHA The Court made the following : ORDER: The petitioner, who is the owner and pattadar of Acs.4.23 guntas of land in Survey No.907/A of Ragampet Village, Choppadandi Revenue Mandal, Karimnagar District, ﬁled the present writ petition apprehending that in addition to a cart track, which is in existence in Survey No.923, passing from East to West, the respondents are seeking to lay a road from North to South over Survey No.907/A and also through the lands situated in Survey Nos.919, 920 and 923. In the counter-aﬃdavit ﬁled by respondent No.2, he admitted the ownership of the petitioner and his brother Ramana Reddy of the land in Survey No.907/A. He averred that the road in Survey Nos.907/A, 919, 920 and 923 is in existence since a long time to proceed to Pochamma temple, drinking water well, borewell etc; and that his oﬃce has not issued any instructions for marking and widening of the existing cart track, which was formed in 1959 and that no action is being taken by his oﬃce to take forcible possession of the land as the existing road is “Vywatturastha”. The tonch plan ﬁled by the petitioner shows existence of two cart tracks running from East to West on the lands situated in Survey Nos.923 and 907 respectively. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that while there is no dispute about the existence of these cart tracks running from East to West, the respondents are seeking to lay a road from North to South on the land situated in Survey No.907/A and other adjacent lands. Since the respondents have denied any such move on their part, the writ petition is disposed of with the direction to the respondents not to lay a fresh road other than the existing cart tracks on the land belonging to the petitioner without following due process of law. As a sequel to disposal of main petition, WPMP.No.1042 of 2002 ﬁled by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 16th OCTOBER, 2008. kvni
