IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) THURSDAY, THE SECOND OF JULY TWO THOUSAND AND NINE PRESENT: THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 13011 of 2009 Between: Khalid Bin Hussan S/oLate Hassan Bin Amar Osmania Mazid,Jankapur(M) Asifabad,Adilabad District ..... PETITIONER AND 1 The District Collector Adilabad District, Adilabad 2 The Sub Collector Asifabad (M) Adilabad District 3 The Tahsildar Asifabad(M) Adilabad District 4 The Station House Officer Police Station Asifabad,Adilabad District 5 Cherla Muralidhar S/o. Laxman Rao 2-46/1 Jankapur(V) Asifabad(M) Adilabad District ..... RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Petitioner : Mr. CHINDAMANJANEYULU Counsel for Respondent Nos.1 to 3: GP FOR REVENUE Counsel for Respondent No. 4 : AGP FOR HOME Counsel for Respondent No.5 : ---- The Court made the following : O R D E R: The petitioner, who claims to have succeeded to his father in respect of an extent of Ac.3-00 of land in Survey No.249 of Jankapur Village, Asifabad Mandal, Adilabad District, felt aggrieved by the inaction of respondent No.4 in protecting his possession. The petitioner’s case is that his father was the original assignee of the abovementioned land and that he succeeded to the same and that when respondent No.5 sought to interfere with his possession, he approached respondent No.2, who, vide Memo dated 28.06.2008, directed respondent No.5 not to enter into the abovementioned land, which is in occupation of the petitioner. The grievance of the petitioner is that despite the said Memo, respondent No.5 is interfering with his possession and enjoyment of the said property and that respondent No.4 has not been taking any action to prevent him from such interference. In my considered view, the petitioner cannot straight away approach respondent No.4 to protect his possession. He can only approach the Court of Competent Civil Jurisdiction and seek appropriate orders to prevent respondent No.5 from interfering with his possession. If the Civil Court grants such an order, then he can seek for implementation of the same to protect his possession. In this view of the matter, the Writ Petition is disposed of with the liberty to the petitioner to approach the Competent Civil Court for redressal of his grievance. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP.No.16839 of 2009 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. _____________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Dated 2nd July, 2009 kl/lur
