HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION No.15168 of 2010 Date: March 22, 2011 Between: 1. Kaarumoori Raja Rao & 39 others. … Petitioners and 1. The State of AP, rep.by its District Collector, Guntur District & 5 others. … Respondents * * * HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION No.15168 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioners filed this case alleging that the respondent-authorities were making hectic attempts to dispossess them from the land in Survey No.280 of Adavitakellapadu village, Pedapalakaluru Mandal, Guntur Town and District, at the instance of the 6th respondent without following the due procedure laid down by law. 2. The Tahsildar, Guntur District, stated in his counter that the subject land situated in Survey No.280 of Adavitakellapadu village was a private patta land and therefore the Revenue Authorities had no concern with the same. He further stated that owing to the encroachment made by some persons, a law and order situation had arisen constraining the promulgation of proceedings under Section 145 Cr.P.C. on 04.5.2009. 3. Sri A. Rajendra Babu, learned counsel appearing for the 6th respondent, stated that the petitioners had no right over the subject land and that the earlier litigative history would demonstrate this aspect. 4. Be that as it may, this Court is not concerned in the present writ petition with the private disputes between the petitioners and the 6th respondent. The allegation of the petitioners was that the respondent-authorities were seeking to dispossess them without following the due procedure laid down by law. This allegation is found disproved by the contents of the counter filed by the Tahsildar, Guntur District, wherein the authorities specifically stated that the subject land was a private patta land and did not concern them. It is only to the extent of controlling law and order that the authorities resorted to action under Section 145 Cr.P.C. Needless to state, they would be bound to scrupulously follow the procedure prescribed in the said provision while exercising power thereunder. 5. Subject to the above observation, the writ petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. ___________________ SANJAY KUMAR, J Date: March 22, 2011. BSB
