This writ petition is filed for a mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in trying to dispossess the petitioners from the property comprised in Survey No. 252/2 of Greamspet Revenue Village, Chittoor Mandal as illegal and unconstitutional. The petitioners claim to be the owners of the land admeasuring Acs.9.10cents in Survey No.252/2 of Greamspet Village, Chittoor Mandal. Their grievance is that the respondents, who are running a District Training Centre for Police have entered into their land and planted stone pillars and erected a board with letters shown as “Police” and claimed the property as belonging to police department. Though, no formal counter affidavit has been filed, the counsel representing learned Government Pleader for Home, placed before the Court a draft counter in which it is stated that on the respondents approaching the revenue department for providing a suitable site for location of administrative office of the Superintendent of Police, Chittoor, the Tahsildar, Chittooor Mandal handed over possession of 0.81 cents in Survey No. 253/1 and Acs. 4.72 cents in Survey No. 252/3 to respondent No.2. The respondents denied their interference in the land comprised in Survey No. 252/2. Having regard to the stand taken by the Police that they are not interfering in the land in Survey No. 252/2, over which, the petitioners are making their claim, it is not possible for this Court to give any direction to the respondents not to interfere with the petitioners’ possession in Survey No. 252/2. However, if the respondents interfere in the petitioners’ possession of the land in Survey No. 252/2 in the guise of putting the land in Survey Nos. 253/1 and 252/3 to use, the petitioners are entitled to approach the competent Civil Court and avail appropriate remedies to protect their property. Subject to the above observations, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. __________________________ C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY,J DATE: 23rd June, 2010 pnb
