No. 290 of 2009 O R D E R: According to the petitioner, his father late Saripalli Krishnam Naidu, in the capacity of Ex-servicemen, was assigned the land to an extent of Ac.5.65 cents in Survey No. 108/4 of Madhuravada Village, Visakhapatnam District in the year 1970 and since then, their family is in possession and enjoyment of the same. Now the grievance of the petitioner is that the respondents, claiming that the land is required for the developmental purpose and it has been allotted to Visakhapatnam Urban Development Authority, are trying to interfere with the possession of the petitioner over the said property. Hence, the Writ Petition. Though the 1st respondent filed a counter-affidavit stating that the patta held by the petitioner is a fabricated one, the 2nd respondent has not filed any counter-affidavit till date. The petitioner has filed a xerox copy of the patta issued in Form D, showing assignment of Ac.5.65 cents of land in Survey No. 108/4, Madhuravada Village, Visakhapatnam District, in favour of his father. It is further asserted by the petitioner that the patta was neither cancelled nor was there any enquiry conducted before the purported allotment of land in favour of the 1st respondent. Under these circumstances, the Writ Petition is disposed of, directing the 2nd respondent to conduct a detailed enquiry as to the genuineness or otherwise of the patta held by the father of the petitioner and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. Till such time, the possession of the petitioner over the said land shall not be disturbed. No costs. --------------------- (C.V. RAMULU, J) 12th August 2009 ksld
