zTHE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.13732 OF 2001 ORAL ORDER: The petitioner claims to be in possession and enjoyment of the agricultural land to an extent of Ac.5-00 situated in Dharbhagudem village, Jeelugumilli mandal, West Godavari District. Though proceedings were initiated for ejection of the petitioner under the provisions of A.P. Scheduled Areas Land Transfer Regulation 1 of 1959, as amended by Regulation 1 of 1970, at the instance of the 4th respondent, the same were disallowed by the 1st respondent by order dated 19.8.1993. It is claimed that the said order has become final. However, since the 3rd respondent-Mandal Revenue Officer made an attempt to interfere with the possession of the petitioner proclaiming that the same would be assigned to tribals, this writ petition was filed seeking a mandamus to the 3rd respondent not to dispossess him from the land in question. This Court by order dated 6.7.2001 granted interim direction not to dispossess the petitioner from the land in question and the same continued to be in operation throughout. Though Rule nisi was ordered in the year 2001, no counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of the respondents. Having regard to the specific plea of the petitioner that the eviction proceedings initiated against him were disallowed long back, and in the absence of counter, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the respondents not to interfere with the possession of the petitioner in respect of the land in question without following due process of law. No costs. __________ (G. ROHINI). 23rd February, 2007. Kgr THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.13732 OF 2001 23rd February, 2007. Between: Akkisetti Bala Rama Krishna. .. Petitioner.
