THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S. RAO WRIT PETITION Nos.7382 of 2010 01.4.2010 Between: Munaga Venkata Ramana, S/o.Venkateswarlu And 84 others … Petitioners AND The Government of Andhra Pradesh, represented by its Principal Secretary, Revenue Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad And others … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S. RAO WRIT PETITION Nos.7382 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioners who are 85 in number filed the instant writ petition seeking a writ of Mandamus declaring the action of respondents, namely, Government of Andhra Pradesh, District Collector, Guntur, Revenue Divisional Officer, Guntur, and Tahsildar, Pedakakani, in taking steps for dispossessing them from the land admeasuring Acs.2.50 situated in survey No.905/1B2 of Sundaraiah Nagar Colony, Pedakakani Village, as illegal and arbitrary, and consequently direct the respondents not to dispossess the petitioners. It is the case of petitioners that all of them are landless poor persons belonging to Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes/Backward Classes. In 2007 they occupied the land and raised structures and residing there. The land is situated in survey No.905/1B2 of Pedakakani. They made a representation to second respondent to provide house site pattas. Second respondent directed the third respondent to take necessary action. They also allege that second respondent also requested the Superintending Engineer, Operation Circle, Guntur Southern Power Distribution Company, to provide street lights. Petitioners allege that Revenue officials visited the area and directed petitioners to vacate the premises. Apprehending coercive dispossession, they filed the instant writ petition. After hearing the counsel for petitioners and the Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (Andhra Area), this Court is convinced that the writ petition is filed without any proper cause of action. It is rather unimaginable that Government of Andhra Pradesh or District Collector, Guntur, would themselves take possession of the land. Secondly, it is not the case of petitioners that Tahsildar visited the premises. There are no concrete and clear allegations against any highhanded action allegedly taken by respondents in evicting petitioners. Therefore this Court is not inclined to entertain the writ petition based on such imaginary apprehensions. If the petitioners are in possession of Government poramboke as alleged, needless to mention that third respondent has to follow due process of law in evicting the petitioners. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. No costs. _______________ (V.V.S.RAO,J) April 01, 2010 YS
