THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.16034 of 2007 Dated: 30-07-2007 Between: Chalamachetti Naresh and another. ..... PETITIONERS AND The District Collector, Krishna District, Machilipatnam, and others. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.16034 of 2007 ORDER: The two petitioners allegedly purchased land admeasuring Ac.0.50 in survey No.174 situated at Movvapalem, Village, Movva Mandal, Krishna District, under a registered sale deed dated 12.12.2005 from one Somasi Srinivas Rao. They allege that they also constructed a house, bearing No.1-20, in said land. Third respondent under the influence of fourth respondent entered the land of the petitioners and threatened to evict them. It is further alleged that on 13.07.2007, third respondent fixed wooden sticks to the petitioners’ land claiming it to be the Government land. Apprehending that they might be dispossessed with force, they filed instant writ petition. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (General-A), this Court is convinced that the writ petition is filed on mere apprehension. However, there cannot be any doubt regarding the principle that if a citizen is in possession of a land by virtue of a registered sale deed, the revenue authorities cannot dispossess such person without giving notice and without informing the reasons for eviction. The writ petition, with the above observations, is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ___________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 30th July, 2007 ghn
