HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.12871 of 2008 Date : 18.07.2011 Between : Shaik Safura Bibi. …..Petitioner And State of Andhra Pradesh, rep. by Principal Secretary to Revenue Department & others. …..Respondents HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.12871 of 2008 ORDER: Though interlocutory matters are listed for hearing, at the request of learned counsel appearing for the parties, the writ petition itself is heard and is being disposed of. The petitioner was granted an extent of Ac.2.00 cents of land in Sy.No.392/18 of Pernamitta village in S.N.Padu Mandal of Prakasam District, by an order dated 6th of December 1978. It is the case of the petitioner that though she is in possession of the aforesaid land by cultivating the same, respondents are taking steps for her eviction without following due process of law. In the counter affidavit filed by the 4th respondent- Tahsildar, while admitting the assignment of land in favour of the petitioner, it is stated that after assignment, the petitioner has kept the land fallow without cultivating it. It is further stated that even if the land is required for any public purpose, due procedure will be followed before taking steps for eviction of petitioner. From the allegations of the petitioner and the averments made in the counter affidavit, it is clear that the petitioner has filed this writ petition on mere apprehension of her eviction. As it is not in dispute that the patta granted to the petitioner is in tact, and further, as it is stated in the counter that the petitioner will not be evicted from the land without following due process, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition, directing the respondents not to evict the petitioner otherwise than due process of law. Subject to the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. _____________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 18th July 2011 ajr
