According to the petitioner he and his family members have been in possession of the property and that his father purchased the property from Tajunissa Begum. He also refers to various events in brief of his possession and title. Be that as it is, the writ petition is filed alleging that on 30.07.2008 the Mandal Revenue Inspector, Asifnagar Mandal, came to his premises and demanded the title deeds. The petitioner handed over the Xerox copies of all the documents. Nonetheless, it is alleged that in November 2008 there was regular visit by the revenue Officials to the premises. Apprehending that they might dispossess him, the petitioner filed the instant writ petition. After filing the writ petition the petitioner has filed additional affidavit today. In the said affidavit it is stated that the petitioner made an application on 23.06.2008 to the District Collector, Hyderabad, for regularization of the land as per G.O.Ms.No.166, dated 16.02.2008. The same is pending. Learned Assistant Government Pleader after getting instructions submits that the writ petition is filed making incorrect allegations and that revenue Officials never tried to dispossess the petitioner. The same is recorded. As the application of the petitioner is pending, needless to mention that unless and until the petitioner’s claim is rejected, he has a right to enjoy his property. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 25.11.2008 vs To 1 The Tahsildar Asifnagar Mandal Hyderabad District, Hyderabad. 2 2CCs to G.P For Revenue, High Court of A.P., Hyderabad. 3 2CD copies Form-NIC-OGS/WP{KBJ}
