R.C.S.P. GHANTA Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a writ of mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in insisting on the petitioners to vacate sites in respect of occupation of the petitioners in Survey No.27 of Pelluru Village, as illegal and without jurisdiction. Heard Sri R.C.S.P. Ghanta, learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue and perused the record. The grievance of the petitioners in this writ petition is that they are the lawful owners of the lands admeasuring 1210 and 242 sq.yards respectively in Survey No.27 having purchased the same under registered sale deeds, dated 17.03.2006 and 10.10.2006 respectively. They claim that the said property is not an assigned land and hence, the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfer) Act, 1977 do not apply to the said properties. The petitioners alleged that respondent No.4 without any manner of right started interfering with the petitioners’ possession and has been threatening to dispossess them without passing any order in writing. Though the petitioners have not shown any evidence in support of their assertion that respondent No.4 is interfering with the possession of the petitioners and is threatening to dispossess them, in the wake of the said allegations, the writ petition is disposed of with the direction to respondent No.4 not to dispossess the petitioners without following due process of law. As a sequel to disposal of main petition, WPMP.No.18156 of 2008 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NARAGJUNA REDDY, J 2nd JULY, 2008. kvni
