THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.30274 OF 2011 ORDER: The action of the third respondent and his men, in interfering with the petitioners possession and enjoyment of, and destroying the crop lying over, the lands of an extent of Ac.0-44 cents each, totalling to Ac.0-88 cents, in Survey No.282/5 of Govindapalyam Village, Puttoor Mandal, Chittoor District, is under challenge in this Writ Petition as being illegal and arbitrary. Learned Government Pleader for Revenue (Andhra and Rayalaseema Areas) states that the petitioners are in possession of the lands as on date; the records relating to the assignment said to have been granted in the year 1976 have not yet been traced; and action, if any, will be taken only after the records are traced. He would further state that, as at present, the respondents are not interfering with the possession of the petitioners herein and, in case they intend taking over possession of the subject lands, they would do so only after putting the petitioners on notice, and after giving them an opportunity of being heard. In view of the submissions of the Learned Government Pleader for Revenue (Andhra and Rayalaseema Areas), I consider it appropriate to dispose of the Writ Petition directing the respondents not to interfere with the petitioners’ possession except in accordance with law, after putting them on notice, and giving them an opportunity of being heard. The Writ Petition stands disposed of accordingly. However, in the circumstances, without costs. _____________________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J November 18, 2011 Note: Issue C.C. in ten days.
