THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.24222 of 2010 Date:29.09.2010 Between: Murukurthi Appanna and another ..... Petitioners AND The Tahsildar, Devipatnam and another. .....Respondents Counsel for the Petitioners: Sri K. Venkatesh Counsel for Respondents: Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue The Court made the following: ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a Mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in seeking to dispossess the petitioners from their lands admeasuring 0.65, 0.30 and 0.29 hectares in survey Nos.144/1 and 144/3 of Sarabhavaram Village, Devipatnam Mandal, East Godavari District, as illegal and arbitrary. The petitioners claim to be the owners and possessors of the abovementioned lands. In support thereof, they have filed copies of pattadar passbooks and No.3 adangal pahani. They alleged that without any reason whatsoever, respondent No.2 has come to their lands along with his subordinates on 24.09.2010 and instructed them not to enter the lands. Terming this action as illegal and without jurisdiction, the petitioners filed the present writ petition. I have heard Sri K. Venkatesh, the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue. The material filed by the petitioners prima facie shows that they are the owners and possessors of the abovementioned lands. Unless appropriate legal proceedings are initiated and orders are passed, the respondents cannot prevent the petitioners from enjoying the lands belonging to them. In this view of the matter, the Writ Petition is disposed of with the direction to the respondents not to interfere with the petitioners’ possession and enjoyment of the abovementioned lands without following due process of law. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.30996 of 2009 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 29th September, 2010 GHN
