THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION Nos.21608 and 19657 of 2010 COMMON ORDER: Both these writ petitions are filed seeking a mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in trying to dispossess the petitioners without following due process of law from the lands admeasuring Acs.3.14 cents and Acs.4.83 guntas covered by Survey Nos.454/3 and 454/4 respectively situated at Cheruvumundara Kandriga Village, Gudipala Mandal, Chittoor District. The petitioner in W.P.No.19657 of 2010 was assigned land admeasuring Acs.4.83 guntas covered by Survey No.454/4 situated at Cheruvumundara Kandriga Village, Gudipala Mandal, Chittoor District and DKT patta was issued on 17.08.2003. Similarly, mother of the petitioner in W.P.No.21608 of 2010 was assigned land of an extent of Acs.3.14 cents covered by Survey No.454/3 of the above-mentioned place and DKT patta was issued on the above said date. It is the grievance of the petitioners that the respondents are taking steps to dispossess them without following due process of law. On instructions, it is submitted by the learned Assistant Government Pleader appearing for the respondents that the petitioner in W.P.No.19657 of 2010 and the mother of the petitioner in W.P.No.21608 of 2010 were assigned lands but they did not bring the same into cultivation within the period of three (3) years as specified in patta conditions. It is further submitted that the petitioner in W.P.No.19657 of 2010 is living with her husband near Tiruvallu in Tamilnadu and she is not even residing in the Village. It is further submitted that the petitioner in W.P.No.21608 of 2010 is the daughter of the original assignee and she is not residing in the Village and working in a private company at Bangalore. It is also submitted that family members of the petitioners were having landed property as such and in view of violation of conditions of patta, the action is being taken to cancel the DKT pattas with regard to the lands in question. Even according to the submissions made by the learned Assistant Government Pleader appearing for the respondents, as of now, no orders are passed cancelling the pattas. In that view of the matter and as it is submitted that there were assignments in favour of the petitioner in W.P.No.19657 of 2010 as well as the petitioner in W.P.No.21608 of 2010, I deem it appropriate to direct the respondents not to evict the petitioners from the lands, which are being claimed by them. However, it is made clear that if there is a violation of conditions of patta, this order will not preclude the respondents to take appropriate steps in accordance with law. Subject to the above directions, both the writ petitions are disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 30th AUGUST, 2010. kvni
