Vemula Govindamani and others. .....PETITIONER AND 1. State of A.P., rep., by District Collector, Visakhapatnam and others. .....RESPONDENTS This Court made the following : THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU WRIT PETITION NO:2775 OF 2005 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking to declare that the respondents cannot interfere with the petitioners’ possession and enjoyment of the property in plots No.27, 28 and 29 in Sy.No.8/1 admeasuring 300 sq. yards each, situated in Revellapalem village, H/o Madhuravada, Visakhapatnam. The learned Counsel for the petitioners states that the petitioners have purchased small extents of land i.e., 300 sq. yards each from a true owner under registered sale deeds and they are in possession and enjoyment of the same and when they are making arrangements to construct their houses, the respondents started interfering with their possession and enjoyment on the ground that the property held by the petitioners is an assigned waste land. While admitting the writ petition on 17.2.2005, this Court directed the parties to maintain statusquo obtaining as on that day. There is no necessity of going into all the details. The learned Government Pleader appearing for respondents 1, 2 & 4 on instructions received from the Mandal Revenue Officer, Visakhapatnam (Rural), states that the lands in Sy.No.8/1 of Madhurawada village are patta lands and therefore, question of interference with the said lands by the respondents does not arise, but however, in the guise of patta lands in Sy.No.8/1, the petitioners and others encroached into the Government land adjacent to Sy.No.8/1 and all those persons, who had encroached into the Government land were already evicted on 5.12.2004. Under those circumstances, without expressing any opinion on merits, the respondents are directed not to interfere with the possession and enjoyment of the property held by the petitioners in Sy.No.8/1 and if there is any necessity of interference, the same shall not be caused without due process of law. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ Justice C.V. Ramulu Dated:16.12.2010 Nn. THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.
