Patta land. Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.G.V.S.MEHAR KUMAR Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following ORDER: THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.8538 of 2009 ORDER: The grandfather of the petitioner was said to have been assigned about Ac.0.20 cents of land in T.S.Nos.1552-2 and 1553-8 of Narsaraopet, Guntur District on 16.11.1977 by the then Tahsildar. The same is said to have been bequeathed upon the petitioner by his grandfather and that the petitioner has become the absolute owner, after the death of his grandfather in the year 1984. His grievance is that the respondents are trying to dispossess him from the land. The petitioner has filed a copy of the patta said to have been granted to his grandfather, by name, M.Seetharamaiah. Though there is some uncertainty as to the exact extent, a perusal of the same discloses that the land in T.S.Nos.1552-2 and 1553-8 was assigned to him. In case there is any dispute as to the patta or the succession by the petitioner, the respondents can certainly take steps to evict him and there cannot be any justification to evict the petitioner from the land as long as the patta is subsisting. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that the petitioner shall not be dispossessed from the land covered by patta, dated 16.11.1977, issued by the Tahsildar in favour of the grandfather of the petitioner, as long as it is subsisting. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L.Narasimha Reddy, J Dt.27.04.2009 VGB
