Counsel for the Petitioners:MR.CHAVALI RAMANAND Counsel for the Respondents 1 and 2: GP FOR REVENUE The Court, at the stage of admission, made the following : ORDER: Since the writ petition is filed with vague allegations, the same cannot be entertained. More so, the question of taking action against the encroachers under the provisions of the A.P. Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977 (for short “the Act”) by the respondents does not arise for the simple reason that no transfer of land is involved as alleged by the petitioner. In that view of the matter, no mandamus, as such, can be issued to the respondents to initiate action against the encroachers under the provisions of the Act and to put the original assignees in possession of the property in question. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. However, the petitioners are at liberty to move the competent Civil Court seeking appropriate relief to safeguard their rights, if any. No order as to costs. 04-11-2004 GJ To 1 The Mandal Revenue Officer, Hanumakonda Mandal, o/o The District Collector, Subedari, Warangal District, Warangal. 2 The District Collector, Subedari, Warangal District, Warangal. 3 Two C.Cs. to the Government Pleader for Revenue, High Court of A.P., Hyderabad.(OUT) 4 Two C.D. copies.
