THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.2706 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner claims to have been assigned an extent of Acs.2.00 of land in Survey No.354/1/A of Mutrajupally Village, Kowdipally Mandal, Medak District in the year 1986. He submitted a representation, dated 30.01.2010, to the Revenue Divisional Officer, Medak, respondent No.3 herein, stating that respondent No.5 is claiming to be an assignee of this very land and is trying to encroach upon it. It was also urged that a construction is being undertaken by respondent No.5. The grievance of the petitioner is that no action has been taken on the representation. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. In case the petitioner holds patta or assignment in his favour, he can protect his possession over the land by approaching a civil Court. It is not even complained that the authorities of the Revenue Department are interfering with the alleged possession of the petitioner. The grievance is only about the acts attributed to respondent No.5, a private individual. Assuming that the petitioner was assigned any Government land, it is not at all the duty of the Revenue Authorities to protect his possession. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed, leaving it open to the petitioner to approach a civil Court. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J Dt:10.02.2010 kdl
