THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.10077 OF 2008 BETWEEN: Chittoori Venkata Ramayya S/o. Satyanarayana, R/o. Nellipaka Village, Aswapuram Mandal, Khammam District. …. PETITIONER And 1. The Mandal Revenue Officer, Aswapur Mandal, Khammam District, and others. …. RESPONDENTS Counsel for petitioners: Sri M. Raja Malla Reddy Counsel for respondents: G.P. for Revenue The Court made the following order: ORDER: 1. The petitioner, claiming to be in possession and enjoyment of Ac.1.00 of land situated in S.No.189 of Nellipaka village, Aswapuram Mandal, Khammam District, has filed this writ petition to declare the action of the respondents in trying to interfere with his possession of the said land without following due process of law, as illegal. 2. It is the case of the petitioner that an extent of Ac.1.00 of land has been in his possession ever since 1989 and he has been paying land revenue. It is stated that the respondents are asking him to vacate the land on the ground that the said land is Government land. Apprehending eviction, the petitioner has approached this Court. 3. The 1st respondent, viz., the Mandal Revenue Officer, has filed counter affidavit in which it is categorically asserted that the petitioner was neither occupied nor has been in possession of the said land. It is further asserted that by paying land reveue from 1989, he managed to get his name entered in the pahanies (as encroacher) without being any actual physical possession. The land is full of shrubs and there is not even any sign of cultivation over it and hence the respondents never recognized him as an occupier at any time. 4. In view of the specific assertion by the official respondents that the petitioner has never been in possession of the land, the question of the petitioner being evicted does not arise. Except filing cist receipts from 1989 to 2001, the petitioner failed to demonstrably show that he is in actual possession of the land. In that view of the matter, no relief can be granted to the petitioner in this writ petition. It is however open to the petitioner to invoke any other appropriate remedy to establish his possession and for any other appropriate relief. 5. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________ NOUSHAD ALI, J. 16th November, 2010 Js.
