THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.19544 of 2010 ORDER: In this writ petition, it is the grievance of the petitioners that though they are owners and pattadars and were issued pattadar passbooks with regard to the land admeasuring Acs.20.00 covered by Survey No.11 situated at Mallavalli Village, Bapulapadu Mandal, Krishna District, the respondents are threatening for their eviction. Except the affidavit of the petitioners, there is no other material to show that any steps were taken by the respondents for eviction of the petitioners. When the matter is taken up on the last occasion i.e. on 10.08.2010, 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 Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondents that no notice is issued to the petitioners and that on apprehending eviction, they have approached this Court. It is also submitted that the land covered by Survey No.11 is a vast extent of 1400 acres and as there were some encroachments, steps are being taken for removal of the same. So far as the petitioners are concerned, even according to the submission made by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondents, no proceedings are initiated under the Andhra Pradesh Land Encroachment Act, 1905. In that view of the matter and as it is stated that there are pattadar passbooks in favour of the petitioners with regard to the land in question, I dispose of the writ petition directing the respondents not to dispossess the petitioners from the land, which is claimed by them. However, it is made clear that if there are any encroachments or allegations against the petitioners, this order will not preclude the respondents to initiate appropriate eviction proceedings against them as per law. No order as to costs. _______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 16th AUGUST, 2010. Note: issue c.c. in two days. kvni
