He statedly purchased the same under a registered sale deed dated 05.02.1987, and another sale deed dated 06.02.1987 which is in favour of his wife. He alleges that both of them are in possession. He filed the instant writ petition alleging that respondents are trying to interfere with the petitioner’s possession without due process of law. The respondents have not filed counter affidavit. Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (Andhra Area) submits that the land in survey Nos.707/4 and 712/1B of Mavillapally Village of C.K.Dinne Mandal in Kadapa District is a Government land, and that mining lease was granted for a period of ten years with effect from 28.02.2000 in favour of Sri N.Prasad Reddy to an extent of 1.955 hectares in survey No.712 and that the lease is in force. She has also placed before this Court the copy of the written instructions received from the third respondent by the Government Pleader, which is made part of the record. There is no reason to disbelieve the submission of the Assistant Government Pleader. There is a serious dispute of title with reference to the subject land. When the question of disputed title is raised, a writ petition is ordinarily barred. Therefore, the petitioner is given liberty to avail the common law remedy and file a suit seeking declaration of title. The Writ Petition with the above observations is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. __________________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 23.09.2010 vs
