It is alleged that the respondents have been interfering with the possession of their houses and taking steps to demolish the compound wall situated around the said houses, without there being any justifiable reason. Hence, this writ petition. When the matter is taken up for consideration, the learned Government Pleader for Revenue, under instructions, states that there is no interference by the respondents with the possession of the petitioners in Sy.No.177 of Chandanagar Village which is said to have been purchased by the petitioners under a registered sale deed. However, he adds that Sy.No.174, which is adjacent to Sy.No.177 is a Government land through which a natural nala is flowing and that illegal compound walls were found to be constructed in Sy.No.174, obstructing flow of the natural water. Therefore, the said constructions were removed to clear flow of the water, but the respondents have not removed any structures in Sy.No.177. The statement of the learned Government Pleader is placed on record and the writ petition is disposed of leaving it open to the respondents to take necessary action so far as the structures raised in Sy.No.174 is concerned. However, it is made clear that the respondents shall not interfere with the properties situated in Sy.No.177 at Chandanagar Village, Serilingampalli Mandal, R.R. District, without following due process of law. Accordingly the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ____________ G.
