I am not inclined to express any opinion as to whether the said land is an assigned land or a Government land and if the said land is an assigned land or Government land, it is always open for the second respondent to initiate appropriate proceedings either under the provision of the Andhra Pradesh Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977 or under the Land Reforms Act. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents not to interfere with the peaceful possession and enjoyment of the petitioner and not to dispossess her without following due procedure prescribed in law. ______________ V.
