By memo dated 14.02.2007, she was informed that certified copies of pahanis in respect of the land in survey No.279 cannot be issued in her name as the land was Government land. She apprehends that as she was informed that the land is Government land, she will be forcibly evicted from the land. She, therefore, seeks a writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in interfering with her peaceful possession and enjoyment of the land without due process of law as arbitrary and illegal. At the stage preliminary hearing itself, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue obtained instructions from the office of second respondent. He submits that after the request of the petitioner for supply of certified copies is rejected by second respondent, vide memo dated 14.02.2007, the petitioner has filed the present writ petition on mere apprehension. While denying the allegation that there is threat of dispossession, the learned Government Pleader submits that unless and until action is taken against the petitioner under the provisions of the Act, she cannot forcibly be evicted.
