THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.22873 of 2010 Date: 14.09.2010 Between: Lingala Chandraiah ..... Petitioner AND The District Collector, Medak and another .....Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: Sri G. Thirupathi Reddy Counsel for Respondents: -- The Court made the following: ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a Mandamus to direct the respondents not to dispossess the petitioner from the agricultural land admeasuring Ac.0.10 cents in survey No.968/1 of Mittapally Village, Siddipet Mandal, Medak District. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. The petitioner has pleaded that on 08.10.1999, he was granted a laoni patta by respondent No.2 in respect of the abovementioned land and that since then he is in possession and enjoyment of the same. The petitioner further pleaded that on 01.08.2010, the officials of respondent No.2 office came to his land and prevented him from carrying on his work and that on 03.08.2010, he met respondent No.2 with all the documents and that he was informed by respondent No.2 that as the Government is contemplating to allot the land to third parties, he shall not enter the land. The petitioner asserted that the laoni patta granted in his favour is still in force and therefore, it is not permissible for respondent No.2 to interfere with his right to enjoy the said property. In my opinion, as long as the laoni patta granted in favour of the petitioner remains in existence, it is not permissible for respondent No.2 to prevent the former from enjoying the land in question. In this view of the matter, the Writ Petition is disposed of with the direction to respondent No.2 not to interfere with the petitioner’s possession so long as the laoni patta stated to have been granted in favour of the petitioner continues to exist. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.29177 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 14th September, 2010 GHN
