RAMANA WRIT PETITION No.17680 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioners filed this writ petition seeking a writ of mandamus declaring the action of the first respondent-Station House Officer, Jeelugumilli, West Godavari District in trying to dispossess them from their houses, as illegal and arbitrary. It is the case of the petitioners that they are landless persons and agricultural coolies and they occupied Gramakantam site to an extent of 0.03 cents each in R.S.No.61/2 situated at Mulagalampalli Village long back, and possession certificates dated 04.09.2007 were also issued to them by the then Mandal Revenue Officer, Jeelugumilli. They raised thatched huts in the said site and residing therein. It is stated that as per the instructions of the second respondent-Tahsildar, Jeelugumilli loan was sanctioned to them to construct houses under Indiramma Programme, and they constructed pucca houses. While so, the fourth respondent-Thota Veeranna obtained injunction order on 29.02.2008 against the husband of the second petitioner, and as per his instructions, the Secretary of the Village stopped to release loan amount to them vide letter dated 28.04.2008. Then they filed W.P.No.11040 of 2008 against the said letter and in the meanwhile the authorities have released the loan amount. It is further stated that the third respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, Jangareddigudem directed the second respondent to provide police protection to the site of the fourth respondent from the second petitioner by order dated 20.06.2009. The grievance of the petitioners is that under the guise of letter dated 20.06.2009, the first respondent is harassing them to vacate their houses. Hence, this writ petition. A counter-affidavit has been filed on behalf of the first respondent stating that the dispute between the petitioners and the fourth respondent is purely civil in nature; that he never harassed the petitioners nor asked them to vacate their houses; that he is not competent authority to dispossess the petitioners from their houses and that he never interfered with the civil disputes between any parties much less the petitioners herein. In view of the above averments made in the counter-affidavit, it is clear that the first respondent is not trying to dispossess the petitioners from their houses, and therefore, no further orders are necessary in this writ petition. The writ petition is accordingly closed. There shall be no order as to costs. N.V. RAMANA, J Date: 06.07.2010 va
