THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.5310 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner was accorded permission way back on 10.09.1980 to raise coconut trees over an extent of Ac.0.38 cents in R.S.No.32/2B1 and Ac.0.11 cents in R.S.No.32/1A of Godavari flood bank of Vemuladeevi Village, Narsapur Mandal, West Godavari District, subject to certain terms. The petitioner states that on the strength of such permission, he raised coconut trees and is enjoying the usufruct thereof. His grievance is that the respondents are trying to evict him, without following the procedure prescribed by law. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. The petitioner has placed before this Court, a copy o f licence granted for planting trees in Government poramboke. By its very nature, the licence would only permit the petitioner to grow trees and no right is conferred upon the land as such. An individual does not get possession over the land under licence and the legal possession continues to be with the Government. However, if for any reasons, the licence granted in favour of the petitioner is to be terminated, it can be done only through a written order. As long as the licence is not cancelled, the petitioner shall be entitled to enjoy the usufruct but not raise any structures over the land. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing that the respondents shall not deny the right to enjoy the yield from the trees raised by him on the strength of the licence without terminating it through a written order. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 18.03.2009 JSU THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.5310 of 2009 Date: 18.03.2009 JSU
