THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.26248 of 2007 ORAL ORDER: According to the petitioner, he is the owner and possessor of 242 sq.yards of land in Sy.No.128 of Garepalli village, Kataram mandal and Gram Panchayat, Karimnagar district having purchased the same from one Thota Ramchander under registered sale deed bearing Doc.No.543 dated 1.6.2005, registered in the office of Sub-Registrar, Manthani. Thereafter, when the petitioner started construction, after obtaining necessary permission from the Gram Panchayat, the officials of respondents 1 and 2 came to site and directed to stop the construction. When the petitioner approached the respondents on 25.11.2007, he was directed to furnish the original documents as to his title and possession. On 26.11.2007, petitioner furnished all the documents to the first respondent and after verifying the same, petitioner was further directed to visit the office as and when called, along with documents. Surprisingly, the officials of respondents 1 and 2 again visited the site and directed to stop the construction. According to the petitioner, no notice of any kind has been issued to him and no final orders were passed in the earlier enquiry taken up. Hence this writ petition. This Court, while admitting the writ petition on 11.12.2007, directed the respondents not to interfere with the construction. However, it was made clear that it is open to the respondents to proceed with the proceedings initiated under the provisions of Act 9 of 1977. Now a counter and vacate stay petition is filed seeking to vacate the said order. With the consent of both parties, the matter is taken up for final hearing. The learned Government Pleader submitted that in view of the interim order, a show cause notice was issued to the petitioner calling explanation of the petitioner and thereafter final orders were passed and possession of land was taken over on 25.2.2008, therefore, the cause in the writ petition does not survive for further adjudication. However, the learned counsel for petitioner states that petitioner is in possession of the property as of today. He further contends that even assuming that the land in question is a Government land, petitioner is entitled for regularization of subject land. Under those circumstances, the respondents are directed to consider the representation to be filed by the petitioner seeking regularization of the subject land and pass appropriate orders, as per law, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of such representation. Till such time, status quo as on today shall continue as to the possession of the petitioner. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________ C.V.RAMULU, J Date: 17.12.2009 DA THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.26248 of 2007 17.12.2009 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.26248 of 2007 Date: 17th December, 2009 Between: Pustham Satyanarayana ..
