HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY Writ Petition No.17319 of 2010 Date: July 27, 2010 Between: S. Rama Rao, S/o. S. Krishna, aged about 30 years, R/o.Pedayathapalem village, Haripaka Post, Sabbavaram Mandal, Visakhapatnam District … Petitioner And The Government of A.P., represented by its Principal Secretary, Revenue Department, Secretariat Buildings, Saifabad, Hyderabad, and 2 others … Respondents Order: This writ petition is filed with prayer as under: “i. declare the action of the RR 2 & 3 in interfering with the petitioner’s land in Plot No.15- B admeasuring 625.4 sq. yards of land in Sy.No.92/2 of Aripaka village and Grampanchayat, Sabbavaram Mandal, Visakhapatnam District, without due process of law, as illegal and arbitrary. ii. consequently direct the RR 2 & 3 not to interfere with the petitioner’s land in Plot No.15-B admeasuring 625.4 sq. yards of land in Sy.No.92/2 of Aripaka villae and Grampanchayat, Sabbavaram Mandal, Visakhapatnam District, without due process of law. iii. and pass such other order or orders as this Hon’ble Court may deem fit and proper in the circumstances of the case.” In the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition, it is stated that the petitioner is the owner and possessor of Plot No.15-B admeasuring 625.4 sq. yards, situated in Sy.No.92/2 of Aripaka village and Grampanchayat, Sabbavaram Mandal, Visakhapatnam District. It is the case of the petitioner that without initiating any proceedings and without issuing him notice, respondents are interfering with his possession over the said piece of plot. On the last occasion, the matter was adjourned so as to enable the learned Government Pleader to obtain instructions and report. Today, when the matter is taken up, learned Government Pleader, on obtaining instructions, states that the plot of the petitioner is in Sy.No.118 of Aripaka village, which is classified as Zeroithi land. It is stated that the layout is an unauthorized layout covered by various survey numbers including the land in Sy.No.119, which is a Government land and therefore a caution board has been erected in Sy.No.119 which is adjacent to Plot No.15-B of the petitioner. It is further stated that, so far as the land of the petitioner is concerned, there is no threat of his dispossession from the said land. In view of the statement made by the respondents in the counter-affidavit, this writ petition appears to have been filed on a mere apprehension. As much as the plot of the petitioner is covered by Sy.No.118, which is a private layout in Aripaka village and it is averred in the counter-affidavit that respondents are not interfering with the possession of the petitioner over his plot, no directions as sought need be issued. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of, placing on record the statement of the respondents in the counter affidavit that no steps are being taken for dispossessing the petitioner. No order as to costs. ___________________ (R. SUBHASH REDDY, J) July 27, 2010 MRR
