THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No. 11504 OF 2011 O R D E R: This Writ Petition has been instituted by Sri Arepalli Venkateswara Rao, S/o Sri Veeraswamy, said to be resident of Nugondapalli Village, Agiripalli Mandal, Krishna District, calling in question the action of the respondents in seeking to deliver possession of land of an extent of Ac.1.60 cents in R.S.No. 69 of the aforementioned village for the purpose of constructing a training center by the police department. It is stated in the affidavit filed in support of the above Writ Petition that the writ petitioner is a landless poor person belonging to backward community and that there is surplus land available in Survey No. 69 belonging to the Government and that his grand father has occupied land of an extent of Ac.1.60 cents in the said Survey No. 69 and over a long period of time, by hard labour, they have brought the land into a position where it can be converted into fit for horticulture operations and that they have planted mango trees and that there are right now fruit bearing trees raised by the writ petitioner and his predecessors thereon and if he was to be dispossessed now from out of this land, it will be unjust. Learned Government Pleader for Revenue as well as the learned Government Pleader for Home would submit that the extent of land in Survey No. 69 is Ac.81.71 cents. The State Government needed to establish a police training center there and hence, the State as a policy preferred to deliver Ac.76.01 cents of land in this Survey No. 69 to the police department to enable it to construct the police training center. Since the land belongs to the State and since the establishment of the police training center sub-serves a public purpose, the writ petitioner cannot obviously make any grievance out of such an action on the part of the State. However, if the land is truly occupied by the writ petitioner and is lying towards one end of the survey number and if it can be conveniently excluded from the extent of Ac.76.01 cents, appropriate steps may be taken. If, on the other hand, the land said to be under occupation of the writ petitioner is incapable of being segregated from the rest of Ac.76.01 cents of land, the State cannot help. In such an event, if the writ petitioner submits any application seeking assignment of suitable land, being a landless poor person, I am sure Respondents 4 and 5 will entertain the same and take appropriate decision thereon. With this observation, the Writ Petition stands disposed of at the admission stage. No costs. ---------------------------------- (NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO, J) 25th April 2011 ksld
