THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.25333 of 2006 06.12.2006 Between: Goda Venkata Ramana, represented by his GPA Holder IKM Rayudu ... Petitioner AND The District Collector, Visakhapatnam And others ... Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S. RAO WRIT PETITION No.25333 of 2006 ORDER: The petitioner is a resident of Donevari Lakshmipuram village of Nakkapalli Mandal in Visakhapatnam District. He allegedly owns land admeasuring Acs.123.00 in survey No.85 (Ols survey No.195, patta No.31) situated in the said village. Statedly the petitioner purchased the land under five registered sale deeds from the legal heirs of one Shaik Dada Saheb, who passed away in 1993. The dispute, however in this writ petition, is not regarding the title. The petitioner alleges that on 15.11.2006, the third respondent – Mandal Revenue Officer (MRO), Nakkapalli Mandal; came to the land and directed the petitioner to vacate the land so that the same can be distributed to persons belonging to weaker sections. Apprehending coercive dispossession, the present writ petition is filed. As rightly pointed out by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (Assignment), the petitioner filed the present writ petition on mere apprehension. Be it noted that if any private patta land is to be acquired for public purpose or any assigned land is resumed for public purpose, the respondents would follow due process of law and should take steps under Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The writ petition, with the above observations, is accordingly disposed of. No costs. _____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) December 06, 2006 YS
