Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.3475 of 2005 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in interfering with the land held by the petitioner in Sy.No.93/E/1, 93/E/2 and 92 etc., situated at Thallada village and mandal, Khammam district, as arbitrary, illegal and consequently direct the respondents not to interfere with the petitioner’s land. According to the petitioner, she is the absolute owner and possessor of patta land in Sy.No.93/E/1, 93/E/2 and 92 etc., situated at Thallada village and mandal, Khammam district. While that being so, the first respondent issued notification under Section 4(1) of Land Acquisition Act proposing to acquire the land in Sy.Nos.92 to 97 of Thallada village. According to the petitioner, without issuing any notice and without conducting any enquiry, the respondents are threatening to dispossess her from the subject land. Hence this writ petition. A detailed counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of respondents stating that the land in Sy.Nos.93/4, 95/4, 96/3, 96/5 and 97/3 belongs to the mother of petitioner viz. Smt.Koteru Sayamma and the said land was acquired by the Government for the purpose of providing house sites. The Land Acquisition Officer passed Award bearing No.6/99 dated 6.4.1999 and an amount of Rs.1,71,594/- towards compensation was already paid to petitioner’s mother and the petitioner has not objected for the same and moreover she has also signed the agreement at the time of payment of compensation to her mother Smt.Koteru Sayamma. The learned counsel for petitioner strenuously contended that the subject land is altogether a different land and it has nothing to do with the land held by petitioner’s mother. The land held by petitioner is a patta land and she has been in possession and enjoyment of the same. In the facts and circumstances of the case, if the petitioner is in possession of the subject land, as of today, the respondents are directed not to interfere with the same and the petitioner shall not be dispossessed from the subject land without following due process of law. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________ C.V.RAMULU, J Date: 23.12.2010 DA THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.3475 of 2005 23.12.2010
