THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.2722 OF 1998 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed aggrieved by the notice dated 23.12.1997 issued by the 3rd respondent-Mandal Revenue Officer, Sadum, underwhich the petitioners were informed that the land in Sy.No.401/1 of Booragamanda village, Sadum mandal, is the Government land and therefore they should not encroach upon the said land and make any changes until further orders. The petitioners pleaded that the allegation that the land in S.No.401/1 is a Government land is absolutely false and that by virtue of the orders passed by the Settlement Officer, dated 7.10.1964, the petitioners herein acquired absolute rights in respect of the said land. It is to be noted that under the impugned notice the petitioners were called upon to appear before the 3rd respondent with relevant record, if they are claiming any right over the land in question. Thus, the matter is yet to be enquired and no adverse finding as such has been recorded as to the title claimed by the petitioners. Hence, it is not necessary for this Court to express any opinion on merits at this stage. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of granting liberty to the petitioners to make an appropriate representation before the 3rd respondent-Mandal Revenue Officer, along with supportive material to substantiate their claim within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Thereafter, the 3rd respondent shall make necessary enquiry and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. Till such time, status quo ordered by this Court on 4.2.1998 shall continue. No costs. ______________ 26th February, 2007. (G. ROHINI, J.) Kgr THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.2722 OF 1998 26th February, 2007.
