THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY W.P.No.1213 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioners state that they purchased the land in different survey numbers of Chutlagunta Ramaparam Village of Ramachandrapuram Mandal, Chittoor District, from M.S.Kamaaluddin and others, in the year 2005, and that ever since then, they are in possession and enjoyment thereof. It is stated that the right and title of the vendors of the petitioners over the land was affirmed by the Settlement Officer, under the A.P. Estates (Abolition and Conversion into Ryotwari) Act, vide proceedings dated 24-06-1967, and that mutation was also effected. The grievance of the petitioners is that the respondents are trying to dispossess them from the land, on the ground that it belongs to Government. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners, and learned Government Pleader for Revenue. In the affidavit filed by them, the petitioners have traced the origin of title to the land, mentioned therein. The copies of the sale deeds, as well as the proceedings under the relevant enactments, in relation to the land, are also filed. In case the respondents are of the view that the land purchased by the petitioners belongs to the Government, or that it needs to be resumed, proceedings under the relevant enactments have to be initiated. It is only after the petitioners are put on notice, that further steps can be taken, particularly when the rights of the vendors of the petitioners were recognized by the statutory authorities. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that the respondents shall not interfere with the rights of the petitioners, over the lands purchased by them, in Chutlagunta Ramaparam Village of Ramachandrapuram Mandal, Chittoor District, without following the procedure prescribed by law. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.08-02-2010. KO
