Secretariat Buildings, Hyderabad and others. .....RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Petitioner : Ms Vasantha Lakshmi for Sri D.Seshadri Naidu Counsel for Respondent Nos.1 to 4: Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.23103 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioners, who claim to have purchased an extent of Ac.2.76 cents comprised in Sy.Nos.528-1 and 528-2 of Peruru Revenue Village and Gram Panchayat, Tirupathi Rural Mandal, Chittoor District under a registered sale deed dated 04.01.2003, have filed the present Writ Petition feeling aggrieved by the action of respondent No.4 in seeking to interfere with their possession and enjoyment of their lands. It is the pleaded case of the petitioners that the above mentioned land was originally assigned to one Subrahmanyam Reddy under the political sufferers quota and that the vendors, who were the family members of the said Subrahmanyam Reddy, have got this land to their share in the family partition. The grievance of the petitioners is that without initiating appropriate legal proceedings, respondent No.4 has been unduly interfering with their possession. Having heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (Assignments), I am of the opinion that if the petitioners are in physical possession of the lands in question, the respondents cannot interfere with their possession without following due process of law. If the respondents are satisfied that the petitioners’ possession is illegal, they can recover possession of the lands in question only through due process of law. Accordingly, the respondents are restrained from interfering with the petitioners’ possession of the above-mentioned land without initiating appropriate legal proceedings and passing an order of eviction. Subject to the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the main petition, WPMP.No.29480 of 2010 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Date:20.09.2010 usd
