Heard Sri S.Satyam Reddy, learned Counsel for the petitioner, and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home. At the hearing, the learned Counsel for the petitioner invited my attention to the averments contained in Para 6 of the counter-affidavit, which reads as under: ‘It is pertinent to submit that except registration of the above Crime in accordance with law, this respondent never interfered with the possession of the petitioner in question and never restrained them from entering into their land. There is no necessity for the respondent- Police to dispossess him from his land. I submit that the intention of the petitioner in filing the present Writ Petition is to see that the accused in the said Crime are arrested. The allegation that under the influence of the accused in Crime No.10 of 2008, this respondent is not permitting the petitioner from entering the land is not at all true and the same is denied. All the other allegations made in the affidavit against the official respondents are false, invented and hence, the same are denied.’ The learned Counsel, therefore, submitted that in view of the above-reproduced statement of the Sub-Inspector of Police, I.Polavaram Police Station, the Writ Petition may be closed. The request of the learned Counsel for the petitioner is accepted and the statement contained in Para 6 of the Counter-affidavit is hereby recorded. The Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. Liberty is given to the petitioner to avail his remedies, in the event, the respondents seek to interfere with his possession of the abovementioned lands in future. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP.No.5193 of 2008 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is also disposed of as infructuous. _____________________ (C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J) 17-03-2008 Note: Furnish CC in four days.
