THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION Nos.23558 OF 2007 AND 23914 OF 2006 COMMON ORDER: Both these two writ petitions can be disposed of by the following order. 2. W.P.No.23914 of 2006 has been instituted, Sri K. Raghu and twelve others seeking a Writ of Mandamus for declaring the action of the respondents namely the Commissioner of Police, Visakhapatnam and the Station House officer, V Town Police Station Law and Order, Kancharapalem, Visakhapatnam, in not providing necessary aid/assistance to the petitioners to protect their possession over land of extent of Ac.7.08 cents situate in R.S.No.13 (Old Survey No.42) of Madhavadhara Village, Visakhapatnam as illegal. Sri Chandrika Nagar Plot Owners Welfare Association got impleaded as third respondent to the above writ petition pursuant to order passed by this Court on 12.06.2007 in W.P.MP.No.5904 of 2007. 3. W.P.No.23558 of 2007 has been instituted by Sanapala Narasamma and Smt. T. Ashok Kumari, seeking for an identical relief for declaring the action of the Commissioner of Police, Visakhapatnam and the Station House officer, V Town Police Station Law and Order, Kancharapalem, Visakhapatnam, in not extending necessary protection to the petitioners for protecting law of an extent of Ac.3.00 situated within the same survey number of Madhavadhara. It would be appropriate to notice that an appeal has been preferred to the Director of Survey and Settlements, Government of Andhra Pradesh on 25.09.2006 by the petitioners in W.P.No.23914 of 2006 and the same is still pending. 4. It is therefore appropriate as suggested by the learned Government Pleader, that the Director of Survey and Settlement takes up the said appeal for disposal as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt of this order. It is needless for me to observe that the Director of Settlements would put the petitioners in the aforementioned writ petition who preferred the said appeal and the third respondent on notice of hearing and after perusing the record from the Tahsildar, Madhavadhara/District Collector, Visakhapatnam, would pass an appropriate order. It is further needless for me to observe that all contentions, which have been canvassed in this writ petition, are kept open. 4. It is however open to the petitioners in W.P.No.23558 of 2007 to renew their request before the Commissioner of Police for seeking adequate protection for them for protecting the land under their possession. The same may be dealt with in accordance with law and pass appropriate orders be passed thereon. Registry is directed to dispatch this order within one week. 5. In the result, the writ petitions are disposed of. No costs. __________________________________ Justice Nooty Ramamohana Rao 25th August 2011 SP THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION Nos.23558 OF 2007 AND 23914 OF 2006 25th August, 2011 SP
