THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM W.P.No. 2761 of 2008 12-02-2008 Between: Vuppala Venkateswara Rao and another. Petitioners And The Govkernment of Andhra Pradesh, Rep., by its District Collector, Guntur, Guntur district and another. Respondents. THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM W.P.No. 2761 of 2008 Oral Order: The petitioners claim to be owners of small extents of property in Purushothamapatnam, Chilakaluripeta, Guntur district. They assert in the writ petition that Chilakaluripeta Municipality and their agents are trying to interfere in the petitioners’ private property without due verification of the boundaries of the Donka for the purpose of construction of a drainage canal. The petitioners also assert that the revenue records do not disclose the boundaries of the Donka and that in the circumstances, the subordinates of the second respondent and the workers of the Contractor are trying to construct drainage canal by encroachment into the petitioners’ property. From the averments in the writ petition, it is apparent that the issues involved are of serious factual disputes as to the boundaries of the property of the petitioners and the Donka which is adjacent to the property of the petitioners and such dispute can more appropriately be determined before the Civil Court of competent jurisdiction and not in a writ petition. The petitioners have an effective and alternative remedy by way of injunctive or declaratory relief before the Civil Court. Hence this Court is not inclined to adjudicate the dispute. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed at the stage of admission with liberty to the petitioners to pursue appropriate alternative remedy. No costs. ____________________ GODA RAGHURAM, J Dated: 12-02-2008 pvks
