THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No.8980 of 2004 ORDER: This writ petition is filed aggrieved by the action of respondent Nos.1 and 2 in marking with red paint to the northern side of the petitioner’s house and well situated in Plot No.14 in Survey No.786/1B (D.No.42/31), Trunk Road, Rayachoty Town, Cuddapah District to demolish the same for the purpose of construction of water tank and School Building in the petitioner’s vacant land, without following due process of law. This Court, while issuing Rule nisi, on 18.05.2004 granted interim directions as prayed for. But, however, even after lapse of five years, no counter affidavit is filed. Therefore, when the matter came up for consideration on the last occasion, this Court directed the respondents to file counter in one week’s time and in default, directed them to appear. Today, when the matter is taken up, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondent produced the instructions, dated 05.04.2010, received from the Tahsildar, Rayachoty, which is to the following effect: “But in fact, the Executive Officer, Gram Panchayat Rayachoty and Mandal Revenue Officer, Rayachoty have not demolished the marking in red paint to the northern side of petitioner’s house and well situated in Survey No.786/1B for Rayachoty which is classified as patta land. The Gram Panchayat Rayachoty have not constructed any water tanks in the said situated schedule property even today also. Hence the demolish of house and well of the petitioner property does not arise. The petitioner Sri S.Janardhan is enjoying the said property even today also.” In view of the stand taken by the second respondent herein, which is extracted hereinabove, it is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that no further orders are necessary in this writ petition.
