Apprehending demolition of the structures raised by them, earlier petitioner No.1 and the father of petitioner No.2 along with two others filed W.P.No.4006 of 2004 before this Court, and the same was disposed on 05-03-2004, by recording the statement of the learned Standing Counsel for respondent No.5- Devasthanam and directing the respondents not to interfere with the possession of the petitioners therein till the matter is settled through negotiations. Thereafter, on 03-07-2010, respondent No.2 has issued notices to the petitioners calling upon them to attend the meeting on 12-07-2010 with the documentary evidence showing their title and ownership over the properties in question and to negotiate regarding the compensation. The petitioners pleaded that they have accordingly appeared before the Committee constituted for this purpose and put forth their submissions. The grievance of the petitioners is that though no possession has been taken thereafter, on 27-09-2010 and 28-10-2010, the subordinate staff of respondent Nos.2, 3 and 5 have come to their shops and residences and demanded them to vacate the same on the ground that they are situated within the village site (Gramakantam). The learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue representing respondent Nos.1 to 4, Sri Ch.Satish Kumar, learned Standing Counsel representing respondent No.5- Devasthanam and Sri G.Elisha, learned Standing Counsel representing respondent No.6- Gram Panchayat submitted that so far no decision has been taken following the negotiations with the owners of the properties including the petitioners. They have further submitted that this Writ Petition is filed on mere apprehension without there being any basis; that the Committee, which was entrusted with the task of examining the title of each of the owners and fixing appropriate compensation, has not submitted its report as yet and that till all these formalities are completed, neither the petitioners nor any other owner in occupation of the properties in question will be evicted therefrom. Recording the aforesaid-submissions of the learned Counsel, the Writ Petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP.No.31464 of 2010, filed by the petitioners for interim relief, is disposed of as infructuous. ___________________________ (C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J) 1st October, 2010 lur
