THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No :30773 of 2010 Date: 8.12.2010 Between: M. Venkata Narayanamma ..... PETITIONER AND The State of Andhra Pradesh and others. .....RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Petitioner : Sri M. Brahma Reddy Counsel for the Respondents : A.G.P. for Revenue The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No :30773 of 2010 ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a mandamus to declare the action of respondent No. 3 in seeking to evict the petitioner without following due process of law as illegal and arbitrary. The petitioner claims to be in possession of Acs.2.84 cents in Survey No. 252/2, Acs.5.00 in Survey No.253/2; Acs. 2.16 cents in Survey No.253/3; Acs. 4.94 cents in Survey No. 255 and Acs.2.94 cents in Survey No.230/2 of Immari Cheruvu, Veligandla Mandal, Prakasam District. According to the petitioner, she has inherited the property from her ancestors. She has averred that on 1.12.2010, at the instance of respondent No.3, survey of the said lands was held and following the said survey, the petitioner was allegedly orally informed that as the lands belonged to the Government, she should vacate the same. Apprehending threat of dispossession, the petitioner filed the present writ petition. I have heard Sri M. Brahma Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue. In support of her claim that the lands belonged to her, the petitioner has filed copies of pattadar pass books and title deeds, apart from a copy of revenue records. Needless to observe that if the property belonged to the petitioner, the State or its functionaries cannot dispossess her without its acquisition. Conversely, if the lands belong to the Government, the respondents are entitled to take possession from the petitioner by following due process of law. As the grievance of the petitioner is confined to the limited extent of the respondents not following due process of law, the writ petition is disposed of with the direction to the respondents not to evict the petitioner without following due process of law. As a sequel to dismissal of the main petition, W.P.M.P. No.39161 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. __________________________ C.V.
