THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.1151 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioners claim that they have been assigned Ac.0.75 cents of land in survey Nos.170/4, 170/12, 170/13 and 170/14 of Nesanuru Village, Putturu Mandal, Chittoor District. They complain that the Tahsildar, the third respondent herein, is insisting on them to vacate the land for the purpose of handing over it to a private Engineering College. The petitioners submit that no proceedings were initiated against them and insist that as long as the assignment in their favour subsists, they cannot be evicted. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Assignments. The very purpose of assigning the Government land to eligible poor is to enable them to cultivate and enjoy the fruits thereof. In case an assignee is found to have violated the conditions of assignment, it is always open to the authorities concerned to initiate proceedings. As along as the assignment subsists, the third respondent cannot interfere with the rights of the petitioners to enjoy the assigned land. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that the respondents shall not dispossess or otherwise interfere with the enjoyment of the petitioners over the land assigned to them, without initiating necessary proceedings, in accordance with law. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:30.01.2009 kdl
