HON'BLE SHRI G.S.SINGHVI, THE CHIEF JUSTICE W.P.No.10904 of 1996 Between: Talla Lingaiah, S/o. Rajaiah and others ..... Petitioners AND The Mandal Revenue Officer, Mallial Mandal, Karimnagar District and another .....Respondents ::ORDER:: Counsel for the Petitioner : Sri I. Aga Reddy Counsel for Respondent Nos. 1&2 : Government Pleader for Revenue Dated 19/04/2006 In this petition, the petitioners have prayed that respondentse be restrained from dispossessing them from the lands comprised in survey Nos.451, 468, 469, 470, 471 and 472 situated at Mallial Village and Mandal, Karimnagar District. Although the pleadings of the parties show that there is some dispute between them on the entitlement of the petitioners to remain in possession of the lands described hereinabove, I do not consider it necessary to deal with the same, because the learned Government Pleader for Revenue fairly stated that the petitioners will not be dispossessed without following the procedure prescribed by law. In view of the statement made by the learned Government Pleader for Revenue, the writ petition is disposed of with the direction that the petitioners shall not be dispossessed from the lands in question without due process of law. This would necessarily mean that if the competent authority proposes to take action for dispossession of the petitioners then they shall be given notice and reasonable opportunity of hearing before any adverse order is passed against them. Needless to say that if any order is passed by the competent authority for their dispossession, the petitioners shall be free to avail appropriate legal remedy and also seek the intervention of the Court, if any such contingency arises. G.S.SINGHVI, CJ Dt.19/04/2006 Msv/grr
