THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION No.16740 of 2010 DATED: 06.09.2010 Between: Smt. G. Laxmamma and others .. Petitioners And The Commissioner of Police, Cyberabad Commissionerate, and others. .. Respondents ORDER: Petitioners claim to be the owners and possessors of agricultural lands to an extent of Ac.7.23 gts. in Sy.No.406 part, Ac.4.17 gts. in Sy.No.418 and Ac.4.00 in Sy.No.419 situated at Dundigal Village, Qutbullapur Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. They state that, when one Pitla Veeraiah and others, claiming to be the leaseholders of their adjacent lands, interfered with their possession of the subject lands, they filed civil suits and obtained interim injunction against those persons. They further state that on their application, the 4th respondent- Tahsildar, Qutbullapur Mandal, issued instructions to the Mandal Surveyor to conduct survey of the subject lands and fix boundaries. But, when the Mandal Surveyor came to the subject lands to conduct survey, the said Pitla Veeraiah and others, along with some anti-social elements, threatened him not to proceed with the work and therefore the Mandal Surveyor left the spot without conducting survey. Thereupon, the petitioners approached the respondent police and submitted representation dated 12.06.2010, seeking to provide police protection, so as to enable the Surveyor to survey the subject lands, but it is their grievance that the said representation is not yet acted upon. Therefore, they filed the present writ petition seeking appropriate directions to the respondents for consideration of their representation dated 12.06.2010. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Home appearing for respondents 1 to 3- police and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for respondent No.4. Admittedly, there are civil disputes between the petitioners and some third parties as regards the subject lands. The petitioners filed civil suits and obtained interim injunction against those third parties. If according to the petitioners, those third parties, who are not made as parties to this writ petition, are not allowing the Surveyor to proceed with the survey of the subject lands, they can canvass their grievance before the Civil Court, where the suits filed by them are pending, and seek appropriate orders in that regard, and this Court finds no reason to exercise the jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India and to issue directions as sought by them. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed, granting liberty to the petitioners to approach the Civil Court for redressal of their grievance. No order as to costs. __________________ JUSTICE N.V.
