THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO W.P.NO.12778 OF 2011 ORDER This writ petition has been instituted seeking a writ of Mandamus for declaring the action of the respondents in not taking up the survey of the land of the petitioners pursuant to the report submitted by them on 24-1-2011 and 23-3-2011 as illegal. Learned Government Pleader for Revenue has obtained instructions from the Deputy Collector and Tahsildar, Qutbullapur Mandal in the matter. It is pointed out by the learned Government Pleader that from the material available with the said Deputy Collector and Tahsildar, Qutbullapur Mandal that lands bearing No.406 (7.23 guntas), 418 ( 4.17 guntas) and 419 (Ac.4-00) of total of Ac.16-00 of Dundigal Village, Qutbullapur Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, are classified in the land records as patta lands. Sri G.Narsimhulu along with others appear to have purchased these lands by way of registered sale deeds bearing Nos.6436 to 6439 of 1989 which were registered on 25-08-1989. The names were already mutated in the revenue records and pattadar pass books and title deeds have also been issued to the respective purchasers on 27-11-2008. Presently the land was found to be in possession of the purchasers. It was also notified by the Deputy Collector, Quthbullapur that there is a standing crop of paddy cultivated by the purchasers in a part of the said land. However what the Tahsildar points out is there were rival claims and they were raising objection for carrying out the survey operations in the land. In view of the above unruly situation created by the objectors, necessary steps are also taken by seeking assistance of the police by writing a letter to the Station House Office, Dundigal Police Station to provide sufficient police force at the time the survey operations are undertaken. In view of various difficulties encountered by the surveyors in accomplishing the survey work, as the objectors are insisting not to undertake the survey operations as the dispute between the parties was the subject matter of civil suits in O.S.Nos.90, 91 and 92 of 2010 and they are yet to be decided by the said Court, the Mandal Revenue Officer has not proceeded in the matter. Sri D.V.Sitarama Murthy, learned Senior Counsel appearing for the petitioners has drawn my attention to the fact that the Civil Court has granted injunction in favour of the petitioners herein, who are the plaintiffs in the afore mentioned civil suits and those injunction orders are still subsisting and they were in fact made absolute. Further, the petitioners herein have also approached the Civil Court for securing police protection for giving effect to the injunction orders, so that survey operations can be carried out. In view of these orders, it is only appropriate for the Deputy Collector and Tahsildar, Qutbullapur Mandal to ensure that the Station House Officer, Dundigal Police Station provides necessary aid so as to undertake survey operations, at the same time, the Deputy Collector and Tahsildar, Qutbullapur Mandal would act with necessary restraint in the matter, so that the survey operations should not lead to any untoward incident at the site. I hope and trust that within a maximum period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, the Deputy Collector and Tahsildar, Qutbullapur Mandal will be able to secure the assistance of the police force and then carry on the survey operations. With this order the writ petition stands disposed of. A copy of the instructions passed by the Deputy Collector and Tahsildar, Qutbullapur Mandal to the learned Government Pleader for Revenue is also kept on record of this case file. No costs. --------------------------------------------- NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO,J rkk Dated: 30-4-2011
