PETITIONERS AND The District Collector, Visakhapatnam and 2 others .....RESPONDENTS The Court made the following: THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION No.7852 of 2005 O R D E R: The grievance of the petitioners is that they are in possession of the Government poramboke land of an extent of Ac.2.67 and Ac.1.92 cents in Sy.No.479/5 and 480/2 respectively of Thutipala village of Makavarapalem Mandalam, Visakhapatnam District for the last 35 years and they are landless poor, and therefore, the then Tahsildar, Narsipatnam assigned an extent of Ac.2.00 in favour of the 1st petitioner out of Ac.2.67 cents in Sy.No.479/5 of Thutipalem village. The petitioners made representations to Respondents Nos.2 and 3 to issue D-form pattas. While the assignment process was pending, the respondents are attempting to evict them from the land in question, and therefore, the petitioners filed this writ petition seeking direction to the respondents not to dispossess them from the land in question, without following due process of law. While admitting the writ petition on 08.04.2005, this Court directed the respondents not to dispossess the petitioners from the land in question without following due process of law. Even the petitioners are encroachers of the Government land, I am of the opinion that they cannot be evicted without following due process of law. Since no counter is forthcoming, the Writ Petition is disposed of, directing the respondents not to evict the petitioners from the land in question, without following due process of law. No order as to costs. ________________ V.ESWARAIAH,J Dated: 31.03.2011 Dsr
