ROHINI WRIT PETITION NO. 12046 of 1999 ORDER: The petitioners, who claim to be landless poor, filed this writ petition aggrieved by the alleged action of the respondents in interfering with the possession and enjoyment of the land to an extent of Ac.0.78 cents and Ac.1.01 cents in Sy.No.105/11 and Sy.No.105/13 respectively of Mangasamudram village, Chittoor District. It is stated that the land in question was assigned to one M.Ramayya and the same was purchased by the petitioners herein and thereafter, they have been continuing in possession and enjoyment of the same. Alleging that the respondents, without issuing any notice and without initiating any proceedings under law, have been trying to dispossess the petitioners forcibly, this writ petition has been filed. This Court, while directing notice to the respondents by order dated 23-06-1999 directed the respondents not to dispossess the petitioners except through due process of law. The respondents have not filed any counter so far and the said order continued to be in operation through out. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and in the absence of any counter affidavit, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the respondents not to interfere with the possession of the petitioners in respect of the land in question, in any manner whatsoever, without following due process of law. No costs. _______________ G. ROHINI, J. Date: 10-04-2007 KLP
