THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.4027 of 2009 ORDER: The father of the petitioner was assigned an extent of Acs.4.20 cents of land in Survey No.411/2 of Sri Venkata Perumalla Raju Puram Village, Vadamalapeta Mandal, Chittoor District on 31.03.1978. After his death in the year 1992, the authorities concerned have issued pattadar pass book in favour of the petitioner on 12.10.1993. Alleging certain violations on the part of the petitioner, the Joint Collector, Chittoor District, cancelled the patta, through proceedings, dated 20.11.1996. An appeal preferred by the petitioner to the Special Commissioner of Land Revenue, Andhra Pradesh, was allowed on 15.10.1998 and the matter was remanded to the Joint Collector, Chittoor District. It is stated that no orders have been passed after remand. The grievance of the petitioner is that the Tahsildar, Vadamalapeta, Chittoor District, the second respondent herein, is trying to dispossess him. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. The order, dated 20.11.1996, passed by the Joint Collector, Chittoor District, cancelling the patta in respect of the land referred to above, was set aside by the appellate authority and the matter was remanded to the Joint Collector. For all practical purposes, there does not exist any shadow over the rights of the petitioner. It is only when a fresh order is passed by the Joint Collector, Chittoor District, that too, directing cancellation, the occasion would arise for evicting the petitioner. There cannot be any basis for the alleged steps by the second respondent for eviction of the petitioner, at this stage. Hence, the writ petition is allowed and the respondents are directed not to evict the petitioner from the land in question, except on the basis of any specific orders of eviction from the competent authority. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:05.03.2009 Note: Issue cc tomorrow. (B/o) kdl
