It is pleaded that by virtue of the said order, the petitioner and his family members were put in possession and that they have been continuing in possession and enjoyment of the same by raising crops. It is alleged that the 2nd respondent-Mandal Revenue Officer, Jeelugumilli, has been attempting to interfere with petitioner’s possession and contemplating to issue pattas in favour of third parties in respect of the land in his possession.
