THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.1411 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner was assigned an extent of Acs.5.00 of land in Survey Nos.278/3 and 279/2 of Obulapuram Village, D.Hirehal Mandal, Ananthapur District on 19.11.1997. A notice, dated 07.11.2009, was issued by the Tahsildar, D.Hirehal Mandal, Ananthapur District, respondent No.3 herein, alleging that the petitioner did not bring the land under cultivation and directed him to explain as to why the patta be not cancelled. It was also mentioned that the land is needed for establishment of sub-station. The petitioner states that he submitted an explanation and even before any orders are passed, the respondents are trying to dispossess him from the land. On behalf of the respondents, a counter-affidavit is filed. It is stated that except visiting the land for the purpose of examining the suitability for establishment of a sub-station, they did not take any coercive steps. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. It may be true that the respondents are in desperate search of a ground against the petitioner for making the land available for establishment of a Sub-station. They did not even show the basic respect to a Soldier who is fighting for the security of the nation and alleged that he did not cultivate the land, as though whole of the District is lush with greenery. All the same, the petitioner apprehended that the respondents are trying to dispossess him without passing orders. On their part, the respondents have categorically stated that they do not intend to take any coercive steps unless and until orders are passed. Taking on record the statement made on behalf of the respondents, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that even if an order cancelling the patta of the petitioner is passed, no further steps shall be taken till the expiry of the period for preferring the appeal from the date of service of such orders. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J Dt:05.02.2010 kdl
