Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.V.BRAHMAIAH CHOWDARY Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR REVENUE The Court at the admission stage made the following : ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing on behalf of respondent Nos.1 to 3. In this writ petition, the petitioner seeks to declare the action of the respondents in trying to dispossess him from Ac.9-43 cents of land situated in survey No.490/2 of Kangiri village and Mandal of Prakasam District even during the pendency of his representation dated 20-4-2005 with respondent Nos.1 to 3, as illegal and arbitrary, and consequently to direct respondent Nos.4 and 5 not to dispossess him from the land without following the due process of law. The petitioner states that he has been in peaceful possession and enjoyment of the land in question for the last 50 years. He also states that the 5th respondent taking the help of some anti-social elements has been claiming the land in question as of hers and threatening him to vacate the same, without resorting to legal procedure contemplated under law. Thereupon he made a representation, dated 20-4-2005 to respondent Nos.1 to 3 seeking protection from the illegal interference caused by the 5th respondent, but they have not taken any action so far. While so, the 4th respondent at the instigation of the 5th respondent has been harassing him to vacate the land in question, by calling him to the police station frequently. Assailing the action of respondent Nos.1 to 3 in not taking any action pursuant to his representation and the consequent action of respondent Nos.4 and 5 in trying to evict him from the land in question without the due process of law, the petitioner filed this writ petition. Though the petitioner claims that he has been in possession and enjoyment of the land in question, no material is filed to substantiate his possession. Therefore, I see no merits in this writ petition. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed at the stage of admission. No order as to costs. _______________ E.DHARMA RAO, J Date:08.07.2005 MRKR To 1 District Collector, Prakasam District, at Ongole. 2 The Revenue Divisional officer, Kandukur, Prakasam District. 3 The Mandal Revenue Officer, Kanigiri Mandal, Prakasam District. 4 The Station House Officer, Kanigiri Police Station, Kanigiri, Prakasam District. 5 Two C.Cs to the Government Pleader for Revenue, High Court Buildings, Hyderabad.
