THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.7767 of 2008 ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed seeking a mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in taking steps to dispossess the petitioner from the lands admeasuring Ac.1.00 cents and Ac.0.17 cents covered by Survey Nos.164/1 and 163 respectively of Pattikonda Village and Mandal, Kurnool District, as illegal and arbitrary. It is the case of the petitioner that though he is the owner and pattadar of aforesaid lands, there was an attempt made by the respondents to dispossess him on the premise that the said lands belong to the Government and are required for the purpose of distributing house-sites to the poor. It is the allegation of the petitioner that the said lands are recorded as patta lands in the revenue records as such the respondents cannot deprive him from the said lands as otherwise than due process of law. A detailed counter-affidavit is filed by the third respondent - Tahsildar of Pattikonda Mandal, Kurnool District. It is stated in the counter-affidavit that while denying various allegations made by the petitioner, it is categorically admitted that with regard to the lands in question, name of Sri Pattabhi Veeraiah was recorded as pattadar in the record of rights register and adangal of 1954. At the same time, it is pleaded that it is a Government Assessed Waste land and it is not known how his name was entered in the revenue records as pattadar. It is stated that there were no attempts made to dispossess the petitioner from the lands in question or there was any threatening as alleged for dispossession with the help of police on 04.04.2008. From the counter-affidavit filed on behalf of the respondents, it is evident that the lands in question are recorded in the name of Sri Pattabhi Veeraiah, who is none other than the father of the petitioner, as pattadar in the Record of Rights Register and Adangal. In view of the same and in view of the statement of the respondents in the counter-affidavit that no attempts were made to dispossess the petitioner from the lands in question, I deem it appropriate to direct the respondents not to dispossess the petitioner from the lands admeasuring Ac.1.00 cents and Ac.0.17 cents covered by Survey Nos.164/1 and 163 of Pattikonda Village and Mandal, Kurnool District, as otherwise than due process of law. However, it is made clear that if the entries were wrongly made, this order will not preclude the respondents to take steps for correction of entries by issuing notice to the petitioner in accordance with law. Subject to the above, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 29th JUNE, 2011. kvni
