THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.8117 OF 2006 05.06.2006 Between: Marripudi Venkateswarlu, S/o.Veeraiah … Petitioner AND The District Collector, Prakasam District And others … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.8117 OF 2006 ORDER: The petitioner allegedly occupied agricultural land admeasuring Acs.1.93 in survey No.167/4 of Petlur village in Kondepi Mandal of Prakasam District. He is allegedly in possession and cultivating the same. Alleging that the respondents 2 and 3, at the behest of local M.L.A., are trying to trespass into the land with an intention to dispossess the petitioner, the present writ petition is filed. Reliance is placed on Xerox copy of the adangal/pahani issued by the Panchayat Secretary, Petlur Village. However, the same has not been signed by the Mandal Revenue Officer (MRO) as required under relevant rules. Be that as it is, as the petitioner is filed this writ petition on an apprehension that even after two months of filing the writ petition he is still in possession of the land, this Court is not inclined to entertain the writ petition. However, it may be observed that if the petitioner is in possession of the land in survey No.167/4 and that he is cultivating the land, unless due process is followed he cannot be dispossessed. The writ petition, with the above observation and direction, is disposed of. No costs. ______________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) June 05, 2006 YS
