Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.K.VENUMADHAV Counsel for the Respondent No.: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION No. 3850 of 2008 ORDER: It is the case of the petitioner that he purchased the land to an extent of 300 sq. yards in Sy.No.96 of Moolarampur Village of Ibrahimpatnam Mandal, Karimnagar District, on 12-10-2007, through registered sale deed, from its pattadar. It is stated that the said property was purchased from one P. Venkateshwar Rao, and that it is a private patta land. Further, it is submitted that the said land is neither a Government, nor assigned land. Learned counsel submits that the respondents 3 to 6 are making attempts to construct an Office/Meeting Hall in the land of the petitioner, for DWCRA groups. I am not inclined to express any opinion, as to whether any meeting hall is going to be constructed for DWCRA groups, in the property belonging to the petitioner, and whether it is a Government; assigned, or patta land. But, however, if the petitioner is in possession of the said land, in any capacity he will not be dispossessed, without following the due process of law. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of, directing the respondents not to dispossess the petitioner, if he is in possession and enjoyment of the property, referred to above, without following the due process of law. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________ Dt.26-02-2008. V.ESWARAIAH, J. Note: Office to issue c.c. by tomorrow. (B/O) KO To 1.2CCs to 2.2CD copies Form-NIC-OGS/WP{KSRANI}
