THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY Writ Petition No.31308 of 2010 DT.14.12.2010 Between: A.Subba Reddy and another … Petitioners And State of Andhra Pradesh, rep.by its Principal Secretary, Home Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad and others … Respondents Counsel for the Petitioners: Sri E.Ajay Reddy Counsel for respondent Nos.1 to 3: AGP for Home Counsel for respondent Nos.4 & 5: AGP for Revenue The Court made the following ORDER: ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a mandamus to set aside proceedings, dated 07.05.2010, of respondent No.3, and survey report, dated 18.08.2010, of respondent No.4 and panchanama, dated 14.08.2010. I have heard Sri E.Ajay Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioners, and perused the record. The petitioners claim to be the owners of land admeasuring Ac.0.37 guntas out of Acs.4.00 in Survey No.169 of Kondapur. When respondent Nos.6 to 9 sought to interfere with their possession, the petitioners filed O.S.No.969 of 2010 in the Court of the learned I Additional Junior Civil Judge, Ranga Reddy District (for short ‘the civil Court’) for permanent injunction. The petitioners have pleaded that the civil Court has granted interim injunction as far back as 10.06.2010. Their grievance is that respondent No.3 has no power or authority to direct respondent No.4 to conduct survey and demarcate the boundaries of Survey No.172, at the instance of respondent No.6, and that respondent No.4, obliging respondent No.3, has conducted survey in their absence and prepared a survey report, on which, respondent No.6 is seeking to place reliance. The petitioners have questioned the power and authority of respondent Nos.3 and 4 in this regard. In my opinion, if respondent No.4 has conducted survey contrary to the statutory provisions and in excess of his power and authority, such report will not have any validity in law. As and when respondent No.6 seeks to rely upon such survey report, it is always permissible for the petitioners to raise the plea of its invalidity before whichever forum respondent No.6 may approach. Inasmuch as the petitioners’ civil suit is already pending, in which, respondent Nos.6 to 9 are parties, they can also raise appropriate pleading with reference to survey report as and when an occasion arises. If such pleas are raised by the petitioners, I have no doubt that the competent Court or forum will consider the same in accordance with law and decide on the validity or otherwise of the survey report of respondent No.4. Subject to the above observations, the writ petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.39838 of 2010 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. (C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J) Date: 14.12.2010 VGB
