THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No.19633 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner claims to be the absolute owner and possessor of the premises admeasuring Ac.0.48 ½ cents situated in Survey No.39 of Brahmnapalli Village, Pulivendla Mandal, Kadapa District. It is his grievance that the respondents are trying to demolish portion of the said premises and compound wall to widen the road, without following due process of law. Hence, the present writ petition. This Court, while issuing notice before admission, on 17.09.2009 granted interim orders, for a period of eight weeks, directing the respondents not to interfere with the possession of the petitioner in respect of the subject premises in any manner, and extended the same from time to time. The first respondent, namely, the Executive Engineer, Roads & Buildings, Pulivendula, Kadapa District, filed a counter in the matter denying the allegations of the petitioner. It is categorically stated in the counter that the road situated in Survey No.39 of Brahmnapalli Village does not belong to R & B Department and as such, the allegation of the petitioner that the first respondent along with other respondents is trying to demolish part of the subject premises for road widening is not correct. The second and third respondents have not filed any counter in the matter. Having heard the learned counsel and having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I am of the opinion that instead of keeping the writ petition pending any further, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the following direction: Respondent Nos.2 and 3 are directed not to interfere with the peaceful possession and enjoyment of the petitioner over the subject premises, without following due process of law. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of, at the admission stage. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date:15.07.2010 VGB
