It is the case of the petitioners that they have purchased the lands from their vendors under registered sale deeds in the year 1984 and since then they have been in enjoyment and cultivating their patta lands by raising dry crops and some times wet crops and they are managing their families from out of the meager income derived therefrom and have been paying land revenue to the Government. Though plenty of Government lands are situated in S.No.54, the respondents with a mala fide intention trying to dispossess them from Ac.73.00 of patta land and to distribute the same to the beneficiaries who are the followers of ruling party. The 1st respondent and his men on the directions of respondents 2 and 3 visited their patta lands in the last week of July, 2005 and started taking measurements for sub dividing the said land as house sites to be given to the beneficiaries either on 05-08-2005 or on 15-08-2005 by way of granting house site pattas. Hence the writ petition. Having considered the submissions made and on perusal of record, it is seen that the petitioners have purchased the lands under registered sale deeds and they have been in possession and cultivating the lands by raising dry and wet crops and also by paying land revenue to the Government. In view of the same, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing the respondents not to evict the petitioners from the schedule lands without following the due process of law. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ------------------- 08-08-2005 Hsd
