THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE V. ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION No.26886 OF 2007 DATED: 17-01-2008 BETWEEN Y. Bhaskara Reddy, S/o. Pedda Rami Reddy, R/o.11-457, Missamma Compound, Sainagar Main Road, Anantapur, Anantapur District and others. …PETITIONERS AND Government of Andhra Pradesh, Rep. by its Secretary Revenue Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad and others. …RESPONDENTS ORDER: Petitioners submit that they have been in occupation and possession of certain houses in T.S.No.2012, 2143 and 2677 of Missamma Compound, Main Road, Anantapur, Anantapur District, since quite a long period but the fifth respondent filed a suit in O.S.No.68 of 1978 for declaration of title and injunction against the petitioners. Petitioners further submit that though the said suit had been dismissed, at the instance of the fifth respondent the official respondents are threatening to demolish their houses and dispossess them. 2. Learned counsel appearing for the fifth respondent submits that the fifth respondent did not file the suit but it was filed by London Missionary Society Corporation, Rayalaseem Diocessan Council and Rayalaseema Diocessan Council of Church of South India against the petitioners and others and the said suit was dismissed for default by order dated 29.01.2001. He further submits that the fifth respondent is titleholder of the said property. 3. I am not inclined to express any opinion with regard to the right, title, claim and enjoyment of the respective parties over the said property, as it is for the civil court to decide the same. Therefore, the petitioner is not entitled for any relief against the fifth respondent as it is open to them to settle their disputes/claims before the civil court alone. Insofar as the official respondents are concerned, I am of the opinion that they cannot interfere with the possession of the petitioners without following due process of law. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of directing the respondents 1 to 4 not to interfere with the possession of the petitioners without following due process of law and the writ petition is dismissed against the fifth respondent. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________ V. ESWARAIAH, J January 17, 2008 DSK
