This writ petition is filed for a Writ of Mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in evicting the petitioners from their huts constructed in Survey No.50/1 of Belum Village, Kolimigundla Mandal, Kurnool District as illegal and arbitrary. The Mandal Revenue Officer, Kolimgundla Mandal, Kurnool District filed a counter-affidavit, wherein it is inter alia mentioned that the petitioners were granted possession certificates by the Mandal Revenue Officer, Kolimigundla on 28-07-2004 and that they approached the District Collector on 23-02-2004 and 19-07-2004 for granting house site pattas for the huts, which were in their occupation for 12 years. He, however, denied his interference with the possession of the petitioners. In paragraph 4, it is averred as under: “ It is submitted that it is a fact that the petitioners are landless poor and occupied the land in question for the last 12 year and eking out their livelihood. It is further submitted that the second respondent has not taken any action to interfere with the lawful possession of writ petitioners’ huts and to evict the petitioners from the huts constructed in the survey No.50/1 and 50/P of Belum Village of Kolimigundla Mandal. The version of the petitioners that the second respondent is interfering with the lawful possession of petitioners’ huts and evicting them is not based on any documentary evidence and it is only an apprehension of the petitioners. It is further submitted that the writ petitioners Boya Saradamma, W/o Narasimhulu, M.Ramanjanamma, W/o Pedda Narasaiah filed W.P.No.6993 of 2005 before the Hon’ble High Court on the same issue seeking identical directions.” In view of the above reproduced averments in the counter-affidavit, wherein the answering respondent categorically denied interference with the lawful possession of the petitioners, the writ petition is disposed of as infructuous. Liberty is, however, given to the petitioners to avail appropriate remedies in the event the respondents seek to interfere with their possession in future. As a sequel to disposal of main petition as infructuous, WPMP No.9300 of 2005 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is also disposed of as infructuous.
