THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.13431 of 2002 DATED:08.09.2009 Between: Nomula Sri Ramulu .. Petitioner And The Mandal Revenue Officer, Saroornagar, Ranga Reddy District .. Respondent THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.13431 of 2002 ORDER: The petitioner is allegedly owner of house plot admeasuring 125 square yards in Survey No.260 situated at New Gaddiannaram under registered sale deed dated 12.03.2001. He also states that his vendors filed O.S.No.818 of 1994 on the file of the Principal District Munsif, Hyderabad, for permanent injunction, which was decreed in A.S.No.13 of 1997 on the file of the II Additional District Judge, Rangareddy District. The judgment of that Court was confirmed by this Court in S.A.No.817 of 2001. It appears that the respondent addressed a letter on 18.07.2002 to the Station House Officer, Saidabad, complaining the construction of structures unauthorisedly in Biladakhala Survey Number situated near Ganga Theatre. Thereafter, the respondent allegedly interfered with the possession of the petitioner, aggrieved by which, the present Writ Petition is filed. In the Writ Petition, the following relief is sought. For the reasons stated in the accompanying affidavit, it is prayed that this Honourable Court may be pleased to issue a Writ of Mandamus or any other appropriate writ and direct the respondent to act in accordance with law and forbear from interfering with the possession and enjoyment of the petitioner over house and plot bearing No.11-153/1/A in a plot admeasuring 125 square yards in Survey No.260, New Gaddiannaram, Saroornagar Mandal, Ranga Reddy District without following the procedure of law and without putting the petitioner on notice about the initiation of any legal action and grant such other relief as it deems fit in the circumstances of the case. The respondent has not filed any counter affidavit. The learned Assistant Government Pleader, however, submits that when there was an attempt to encroach the Government property, the Mandal Revenue Officer addressed the Station House Officer, Saidabad, and therefore, it is due compliance with the procedure under law. The respondent addressed a letter on 18.07.2002 to Station House Officer, Saidabad, complaining that the petitioner is taking up unauthorized constructions in Biladakhala Survey Number near Ganga Theatre. If the respondent, as alleged, wanted to dispossess the petitioner, there was no necessity for him to address the Station House Officer. When there was encroachment or attempt to encroach or someone encroached the Government land, the Mandal Revenue Officer took action in the right direction and the same cannot be treated as arbitrary or illegal. If there is any dispute with regard to the title, the petitioner has a right to seek declaration through Civil Court. This Court is convinced that this Writ Petition is filed only to preempt the police from taking action on the complaint given by the Mandal Revenue Officer. The Writ Petition is misconceived and accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________ (V.V.S. RAO, J) 08.09.2009 KH
