Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.N.NARASIMHA RAO Counsel for the Respondent No.1: GP FOR REVENUE Counsel for the Respondent No.2: MR. K.UPENDER REDDY The Court at the stage of admission made the following ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the 2nd respondent and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the 1st respondent. The learned Standing Counsel appearing for the 2nd respondent as well as the learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the 1st respondent submitted that actually, the petitioners are in occupation of land in Survey No.168/1 but not 169/1 of Narrawada Village, Duttalur Mandal, Nellore District as stated in the affidavit. Survey No.169/1 is a patta land and the resolution filed by the petitioners is also a fake one. They further submitted that against the notice dated 21-06-2005 issued by the 1st respondent, the petitioners have filed O.S.No.164 of 2004 on the file of the learned Junior Civil Judge, Athmakur and the same was already dismissed. After dismissal, they have approached this Court by filing this writ petition. They have also submitted that as per the notice dated 21-06-2005 issued by the 1st respondent, the petitioners have given an undertaking that they are going to vacate the suit schedule land by 03-07-2005. Contrary to the said undertaking, the petitioners approached this Court and filed this writ petition. It is, therefore, not maintainable. In view of the above stated facts and circumstances of the case, I am of the opinion that the petitioners have not approached this Court with clean hands. The writ petition is accordingly, dismissed. No order as to costs. 12th JULY, 2005. kvni To 1 The Mandal Revenue Officer, Duttaluru Mandal, Nellore District. 2 The Sarpanch, Narrawada Gram Panchayat, Narrawada, Duttaluru Mandal, Nellore District. 3 Two CCs to the Government Pleader for Revenue, A.P.High Court Buildings, Hyderabad (OUT). 4 Two CD copies.
