HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.20154 of 2010 Dated: 20-08-2010 Between: V. Nagamma. … Petitioner And The Joint Collector, Chittoor District & others. … Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.20154 of 2010 ORDER: In this writ petition, the petitioner seeks directions by way of Mandamus, declaring the action of respondents in trying to dispossess her from the land to an extent of Ac.3.98 cents, covered by Sy.No.447/2, situated at Adilakshmambapuram village of Gudipala Mandal in Chittoor District, as illegal and arbitrary. It is the case of the petitioner that she was assigned the aforesaid land and pattedar passbook was also issued vide book No.50, dated 03.05.1995. It is stated that since the date of assignment, the petitioner is in possession of the property. While the things stood thus, respondent No.3 has issued show cause notice in ROC.No.B/93/08, dated 21.08.2008, calling upon the petitioner to show cause as to why the assignment patta issued in her favour, should not be cancelled. The petitioner has filed her explanation to the said show cause notice, on 03.09.2008. In this writ petition, it is the grievance of the petitioner that though no orders are passed after filing her explanation, respondents are threatening to dispossess her from the land. When the matter is listed for hearing on 16.08.2010, it was adjourned to enable the learned Government Pleader to get instructions. When the matter is taken up today, it is submitted by the learned Government Pleader appearing for respondents, that pursuant to the show cause notice issued to the petitioner, no further orders have been passed, but it is submitted that steps are being taken for cancellation of patta issued to the petitioner, as much as she has violated the conditions of assignment. In this case, it is not in dispute that the petitioner was assigned the land in question as early as in 1995 and she was also issued pattedar pass book to an extent of Ac.3.98 cents, covered by Sy.No.447/2, situated at Adilakshmambapuram village of Gudipala Mandal in Chittoor District. As of now, the patta issued to the petitioner holds good, and no further orders are passed pursuant to the show cause notice issued to the petitioner, in the absence of which, respondents cannot take steps for eviction of petitioner, at this stage. In view of the statement made by the learned Government Pleader appearing for respondents, that so far no final orders are passed pursuant to the show cause notice issued to the petitioner, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition, directing the respondents not to take any steps for dispossessing the petitioner from the aforesaid land as otherwise than due process of law. However, it is open for the respondents to pass appropriate final orders, by considering the explanation filed by the petitioner. Writ petition is allowed to the extent indicated above. No order as to costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 20th August 2010 ajr
