According to the petitioner, he has been residing at Nagendra Colony in Venkatapuram Panchayat of Eluru Mandal, West Godavari District, for the last fifty years, and has been eking out his livelihood by planting Gorintaku and vegetables in the agricultural land admeasuring Ac.1.00 adjacent to the irrigation poramboke land. It is his case that some persons, with the help of local politicians, have been making attempts to grab the said land and threatening him with dire consequences if he does not handover the said land to them, and in that course, on 11.03.2008 at about 6.00 a.m., about 30 to 40 antisocial elements have trespassed into his land and destroyed the standing crop and also intimidated him. The grievance of the petitioner is that immediately after the aforesaid incident has taken place, he approached the police, but the police refused to receive any complaint from him and therefore he sent complaint in the form of representation, dated 12.03.2008, to the respondents, through registered post, but so far no action has been taken on the said representation. Hence, this writ petition. In the facts and circumstances of the case, the respondents are directed to take up the complaint, dated 12.03.2008, submitted by the petitioner, on file and investigate the matter, and take appropriate action as per law on the basis of the investigation, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _________________ JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU 19th November, 2008. IBL
