His grievance is that even while the patta is in force, the respondents are trying to dispossess him by allotting it to the Mancherial unit of Telangana Non-Gazetted Officers. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. The petitioner was granted patta for an extent of Ac.2.00 of land in Survey No.42 of Nasapur Village, Mancherial Mandal, Adilabad District way back on 18.11.1997. The same enables him to exercise rights of ownership and possession over the land. If the respondents are of the view that the petitioner had violated any conditions of patta or that the patta became incompatible for any reasons, necessary proceedings are to be initiated, duly putting the petitioner on notice. There does not exist any justification to interfere with the rights of the petitioner, as long as the patta is in force. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that the respondents shall not interfere with the possession or other rights of the petitioner over the land admeasuring Ac.2.00 in Survey No.42 of Nasapur Vilage, Mancherial Mandal, Adilabad District, as long as the patta granted in his favour is in force. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 11.03.2005 Note: Issue C.C. by 14.03.2005 (B/o) Jsu To 1 The Revenue Divisional Officer, Mancherial, Adilabad District. 2 The Mandal Revenue Officer, Mancherial, Adilabad District. 3 2 CCs to the G.P. for Revenue, High Court Buildings, Hyderabad.
