Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.C.V.BHASKAR REDDY Counsel for the Respondent No.: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : ORDER: The writ petition misconceived since neither the State nor an Instrumentality of the State is impleaded as respondent in the writ petition. Only the Revenue Divisional Officer, Chevella, the Mandal Revenue Officer and the Revenue Inspector of Serilingampalli mandal, Ranga Reddy District are impleaded as respondents. This is a pre-emptive writ petition filed on an apprehension that the respondents would dispossess the petitioners despite their title and long possession in an agricultural land of an extent of Ac. 27.00 in S.No. 149 of Nanakramguda village, Serilingampalli mandal. As the State or an Instrumentality of the State are not impleaded as the respondents, no relief could be granted. Even otherwise, for unlawful conduct of any person even if he be a public officer, the petitioners have a plurality of remedies. They may submit a police complaint or may seek injunctive relief before the civil Court of competent jurisdiction or in an emergency, they may even exercise the right of private defense to safeguard their property. The writ petition is dismissed with liberty to the petitioners to pursue appropriate remedies. No order as to costs. __________________ GODA RAGHURAM,J KRB. 30.4.2009 THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM WRIT PETITION No. 11795 of 2008 Dated: 30.4.2009.
