It is stated that both the petitioners belong to the tribal community and the land is situated in the agency area. While so, the respondent-Mandal Revenue Officer, Mulakalapally issued a notice dated 24.02.2005 stating that one Smt.Lavudiya Ambali made a representation for demarcation on the ground that she is having some land in the same survey number and requested the respondent to conduct survey. It is stated that the said Lavudiya Ambali without having any right on the land made an illegal representation. Pursuant to the said representation, the Mandal surveyor and the Mandal Revenue Inspector came to the spot on 05.03.2005 and conducted survey though the petitioners have showed their patta and other documents stating that the said land cannot be surveyed. Though it is stated that a notice was issued, but no copy of such notice has been filed in the writ petition. Only on the apprehension that their possession may be interfered with by the revenue authorities, the writ petition is filed seeking a direction, directing the respondents not to dispossess them without following due process of law. This Court while admitting the writ petition on 23.03.2005, directed the respondent not to dispossess the petitioners from the lands in question without following due process of law. As no counter is forthcoming, having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, the Writ Petition is disposed of, directing the respondent not to dispossess the petitioners from the land in question, without following due process of law. No order as to costs. ________________ V.ESWARAIAH,J Dated: 17.03.2011 Dsr
