Anasuyamma. … Petitioner And The Tahsildar/Mandal Revenue Officer, Amaravathi Mandal, Guntur District & another. … Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.19486 of 2010 ORDER: In this writ petition, the petitioner seeks directions by way of Mandamus, declaring the action of respondents in interfering with her possession of the house bearing No.1- 123, situated at Dharanikota village of Amaravathi Mandal in Guntur District by locking the said house without giving any notice to her, as illegal and arbitrary. It is the case of the petitioner that she was not given any notice and opportunity before locking her house. It is stated that she is aged about 80 years, and abruptly, respondents have put locks on her house and are not allowing her to enter into the house. When the matter has come up for hearing on 10th of August 2010, it was adjourned to enable the learned Government Pleader to obtain instructions. When the matter is called today, it is represented by the learned Government Pleader, that no prior notice is issued to the petitioner before locking her house, but as much as the said house is constructed in the poramboke land, the petitioner is asked not to enter into the same. If the house constructed by the petitioner is in poramboke land, the respondents can initiate appropriate proceedings in accordance with law, but the house cannot be locked without following due process of law. In that view of the matter, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the 1st respondent to remove the lock of the petitioner’s house within two days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and allow the petitioner to stay in the said house. However, it is made clear that if the said house is constructed unauthorisedly in the poramboke land, it is open for the respondents to conduct inquiry and take appropriate steps in accordance with law. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 13th August 2010 N.B: Furnish C.C. in two days. (b/o) ajr
