THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH W.P.NO.4609 OF 2006 Dt.9.3.2006 Between: Ksheera Sagar Chopra and others. … Petitioners And The District Collector, Mahabubnagar And two others … Respondents ORDER: Petitioners question the action of the respondents in not disposing of the appeal dated 10.6.2004 filed by the petitioners as illegal and arbitrary. The case of the petitioners is that the first petitioner filed an appeal on 10.6.2004 before the Collector, Mahaboobnagar District, seeking eviction of the land grabbers who have purchased the patta land of the petitioners in Survey Nos.247 and 248 (Old Sy.No.220) situated at Gollapally Village under Section 17 of the A.P.Land Grabbers (Prohibition) Act, 1982. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue on behalf of the respondents. I am of the opinion that the Collector has no power to evict the land grabbers under any of the provisions of the said Act and therefore the question of directing the first respondent to consider and dispose of the said appeal dated 10.6.2004 does not arise. However, it is open for the petitioners to take appropriate action in accordance with law. The writ petition is dismissed accordingly. No costs. _________________ (V.ESWARAIAH, J.) 9.3.2006 kpr
