His grievance is that the respondents are trying to dispossess him without issuing any notice and without issuing any proceedings. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. In proof of title of his father over the lands, the petitioner has filed a copy of the pattadar passbook, in which, the lands in Sy.Nos.326/2A and 334/2 are shown in the name of his father. Even assuming that the petitioner is liable to be evicted from the lands for any reason, the respondents are under obligation to issue notice under the relevant provision of law. There cannot be any justification to interfere with the possession and enjoyment of the petitioner over the said lands, particularly, when pattadar passbooks and title deeds exist in favour of the father of the petitioner. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of directing that the respondents shall not interfere with the possession and enjoyment of the petitioner over the lands, except by initiating proceedings in accordance with law. No order as to costs. L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:30.04.2009 usd
