DAVE AND HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.16880 of 2009 Between: Shaik Abdul Raheem ...Petitioner And Government of Andhra Pradesh, Represented by its Secretary, Revenue Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad And others. ...Respondents Counsel for the petitioner : Sri Mohd. Zia-Ul-Haque Counsel for respondent Nos.1 to 4: Government Pleader for Revenue Counsel for respondent No.5 : None The Court made the following: ORDER: (per Sri Anil R. Dave, C. J.) This is a public interest litigation wherein the petitioner has submitted that respondent No.5 has put up construction on the government land and that the official respondents have not taken any action for removal of the construction which is in the nature of encroachment on the government land. In pursuance of the notice issued by this Court, Tahsildar, Amberpet Mandal, Hyderabad has filed a counter affidavit stating that the land on which construction has been put up by respondent No.5 does not belong to the government, but the land in question belongs to respondent No.5. The learned Advocate appearing for the petitioner prays for time so as to find out whether the afore-stated averment made in the counter affidavit filed by the Tahsildar is correct. We are not inclined to grant time to the learned Advocate for the reason that without having sufficient information with regard to ownership of the land in question the petitioner has levelled wild allegations against respondent No.5 and other government officials. In the absence of any information, in our opinion, such a petition could not have been filed. There is no reason to disbelieve the averment made by the Tahsildar in his counter affidavit. We, therefore, reject the petition. The petition is, therefore, dismissed as rejected. The amount of costs deposited by the petitioner shall be forwarded to the A.P. High Court Legal Services Committee. ANIL R. DAVE, C.J. 14th September, 2009 C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY, J. ARS
