THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.16628 of 2010 ORDER: In this writ petition, petitioner seeks a mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in taking steps for his dispossession from the land admeasuring Ac.0.67 cents covered by Survey No.481 situated at Avilala Revenue Village, Tirupati Rural Mandal of Chittoor District, as illegal and arbitrary. The sole basis for the claim of the petitioner is, proceedings bearing No.6759/75, dated 22.06.1976 issued by the third respondent - Tahsildar, Chandragiri. I have perused a copy of the said proceedings, by which, temporary permission was given by the third respondent to the petitioner to cultivate only an extent of Ac.0.67 cents of land out of total extent of Ac.1.90 cents. In the very proceedings, it is mentioned that the said land is categorized as Kalva Poramboke. When the matter came up for hearing on 14.07.2010, it was adjourned to enable the learned Government Pleader for Revenue to get instructions. Today, it is submitted by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, based on the letter sent by the third respondent, that as per the Village accounts, the land admeasuring Ac.1.97 cents covered by Survey No.481, is classified as Kalva Poramboke, which vests with the Government. It is further submitted that there is no cultivation for the last 20 years and an extent of Ac.0.50 cents in the above said land was handed over to Sri Vinaya Rajaka Cooperative Society for Dhobi ghat and the same is lying vacant. It is also submitted that the petitioner is not in possession of the land and was trying to squat on the same by making false claims. Except the proceedings, dated 22.06.1976, there is no basis for the claim of the petitioner. Basing on the temporary lease granted to him for cultivation of the land admeasuring Ac.0.67 cents, he cannot seek continuance of his possession thereon. As much as the said land is classified as Kalva Poramboke, he cannot seek its assignment. If he is a landless poor person and eligible for assignment as per the assignment policy, it is open for him to submit an application to the authorities concerned, but he cannot seek directions to assign a particular piece of land, when it is stated that such land is categorized as Kalva Poramboke in the Village accounts. For the aforesaid reasons, I do not find any merit in the writ petition, which is accordingly, dismissed. No order as to costs. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 19th JULY, 2010. kvni
