THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No. 9852 of 2011 Dated: 13-4-2011 Between: Thunga Bhaskar …Petitioners and The District Collector, Chittoor District, Chittoor and others …Respondents ORAL ORDER: The writ petitioner has been assigned land of an extent of Ac.0-30 cents situated in Sy.No.1/4 of Buchinaidupally village, H/o Mittapalem Revenue village, Chandragiri Mandal, Chittoor District on 6-7-1986 by the Mandal Revenue Officer, Chandragiri. It is asserted by the writ petitioner that he is continuously in possession of this land. Without serving any notice to him either proposing for resumption of land and then proposing to compensate him or without taking recourse to the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act, he is sought to be thrown out of his land for the purpose of implementation of another beneficial scheme, called Indiramma Scheme for providing houses for the poor. The learned Government Pleader for Revenue (Assignment of Andhra Area) submits that one cannot estimate the genuineness of any patta, which has got to be necessarily investigated and only in the event that it is found to be not genuine, the respondent would initiate necessary steps against the petitioner. Even otherwise, the learned Govt. Pleader assures that due process of law will be followed by the respondents before they seek to evict the writ petitioner. In view of this, the writ petition is disposed of at this stage of admission itself without expressing any opinion, one way or the other, on the merits of the case set up by the petitioner, directing the respondents not to evict the petitioner without following due process and without putting him on notice of the proposed action by them. ------------------------------------- NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO, J 13th April, 2011 GRR
