The Revenue Divisional Officer, Rajahmundry, East Godavari District. 3. The Mandal Revenue Officer, Kapileshwarapuram Mandal, East Godavari District. ...RESPONDENTS Petition under Article 226 of the constitution of India praying that in the circumstances stated in the Affidavit filed herein the High Court may be pleased to issue a writ, order or direction more particularly one in the nature of Writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in trying to dispossess the petitioners from the Lanka Lands situated in Sty.No.455 part to an extent of Ac.67-00 cents i.e. 0-50 cents each situated at Addankivari Lanka, Kapileswarapuram Mandal, East Godavari District as illegal, arbitrary, discriminatory, without following the procedure laid down under law land also in violation of Articles 14 and 21 of the Constitution of India and also against the principles of natural justice and consequently declare that the petitioners are entitled for assignment of Patta/Lease i.e. 0-50 cents each in Sy.No.455 Part, situated at Addankivari Lanka, Kapileswarapuram Mandal, East Godavari District by taking into consideration that the petitioners were inducted into possession on the said Lanka Lands by the then Sub-Collector, Rajahmundry and M.R.O. Kapileswarapuram in the year 1999 as the petitioners are landless poor by receiving land revenue from the petitioners. Counsel for the Petitioners: MR. K. SATYANARYANA MURTHY Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following: ORDER: Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondents. The petitioners, 154 in number, filed this writ petition aggrieved by the alleged action of the respondents in trying to dispossess them from the land in Sy.No.455 part to an extent of Ac.67-00, situated at Addankivari Lanka, Kapileswarapuram Mandal, East Godavari District, without following due process of law. As can be seen from the material on record, the petitioners were issued notices under Section 7 of the A.P. Land Encroachment Act, in the year 1987, calling upon them to show cause why they should not be evicted from the lands. The petitioners state that all of them have submitted their explanations and so far, no final orders have been passed, but in the meanwhile, the respondents are attempting them from the land in question. Hence, this writ petition. Having regard to the specific plea raised by the petitioners that no final orders have yet been passed by the respondents under Section 6 of the A.P. Land Encroachment Act, without expressing any opinion as to the entitlement of the petitioners to continue in occupation of the said lands, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents not to interfere with their possession in respect of the land in question, without following due process of law. No order as to costs. ____________ G. ROHINI, J Dated: 09-02-2005 NOTE: Issue C.C. by tomorrow. B/o. LSK ASSISTANT REGISTRAR //TRUE COPY// SECTION OFFICER. To 1.
