FOR REVENUE The Court at the admission stage, made the following : ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue and both of them agreed for disposal of the writ petition at the stage of admission. The petitioner claims to be owner of property bearing D.No. 56-1-107 admeasuring 68 sq.yards in Ward No.23, Block No.56, Bapuji Nagar, Jagannaikpur, Kakinada Municipality. The grievance of the petitioner is that though he purchased the said property under registered sale deed dated 6.4.1999 from One Sri Mummidi Appa Rao for valuable consideration and paying taxes on the property, the third respondent is interfering with his possession and threatening to evict the petitioner. Challenging the said action of the respondent, the present writ petition is filed. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, without going into merits of the matter, I deem it appropriate to direct the respondents not to dispossess the petitioner from the property in question without following due process of law. However, it is made clear that if the subject land is a Government land, the respondents are at liberty to proceed against the petitioner by following due procedure as contemplated under law. The writ petition, with the above observations and directions, is accordingly disposed of. No costs. _____________ N.V.RAMANA, J Date: 30.12.2004 TVK/DA To 1 The Secretary, Govt of A.P., Revenue Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad. 2 The District Collector, East Godavari District, Kakinada. 3 The Mandal Revenue Officer, Kakinada, Urban, Kakinada, East Godavari District. 4 Two CCs to the G.P. for Revenue, High Court Buildings, Hyderabad. 5 Two CD copies.
