PETITIONERS AND 1 The State of A.P rep.by its Principal Secretary Revenue Secretariat Hyderabad 2 The District Collector Medak District at Sanga Reddy 3 The Tahasildar Alladurgam(M) Medak District .....RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Petitioners:MR.DADI RADHA KRISHNA Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a writ of mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in seeking to dispossess the petitioners in respect of Plot Nos.50 and 37 covered by patta Nos.B/J.B/260/99, dated 01.05.1999 in respect of Ac.0.03 cents each, as illegal. The petitioners claim that they were granted house-site pattas in respect of the above-mentioned sites by the then Mandal Revenue Officer, Alladurgam Mandal, Medak District and that they have been in possession of the sites covered by the said pattas. The petitioners alleged that respondent No.3 and his staff came to their houses on 27.06.2008 and tried to measure the land by marking the same and that their enquiries revealed that the Government is trying to resume the house sites for public purpose. The petitioners apprehend that respondent No.3 may demolish the thatched houses erected by them. At the hearing, the learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners are in occupation of their respective house sites in pursuance of valid house-site pattas and hence, the respondents have no power or authority to interfere with their possession. Having heard the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (Assignment), I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the direction to the respondents not to interfere with the possession and enjoyment of the petitioners so long as the house site pattas allegedly granted in favour of the petitioners remain valid. If the respondents intend to dispossess the petitioners, they can do so only by following due process of law. Ordered accordingly. As a sequel to disposal of main petition, WPMP.No.19248 of 2008 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 11th JULY, 2008. kvni
