HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA W.P.No.8708 of 1998 Dated 14th day of February, 2007 Between: Akkisana Krishna Reddy .. Petitioner And The District Collector, Chittoor, Chittoor District and two others .. Respondents O R D E R: This writ petition is filed seeking a mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in trying to dispossess the petitioner from the land of an extent of Ac.8.75 cents in S.No.252/2 situated in Regallu Revenue village, Piler Mandal, Chittoor District without following due process of law, as arbitrary and illegal, and consequently direct the respondents not to dispossess him from the land in question. The brief facts of the case are that the petitioner’s grandfather purchased an extent of Ac.8.75 cents of land in S.No.252/2 situated in Regallu village, Piler Mandal, Chittoor District under a registered sale deed dated 21.2.1985 and since then the petitioner and his grandfather have been in possession and enjoyment of it and paying land revenue to the Government. Now, the grievance of the petitioner is that the respondents, without following due process of law, are trying to dispossess him from the land in question. Respondents 1 and 3 filed a counter affidavit stating that in fact the authorities do not have any intention to acquire the land in question. Having heard the learned counsel for both the parties and perused the material placed on record, this Court is of the view that the petitioner, on a mere apprehension that he would be dispossessed from the land in question, has filed this writ petition. Hence, I see no merits in this writ petition and the same is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ______________​_ 14.02.2007 bcj
