Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Government Pleader for Revenue. The petitioners have placed before this Court, the copies of sale deeds through which they purchased small extents of land. The vendors of the petitioners clearly stated that the land was not assigned land and that it is patta land. Even assuming that it is assigned land; the petitioners can be dispossessed, only after initiating proceedings under the Andhra Pradesh Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of, directing that the petitioners shall not be dispossessed or otherwise interfered with, unless the proceedings, in accordance with law, are initiated against them. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J Dated: 09.02.2010 Note: Furnish C.C. in one week (B/o) KH
