It is directed against the alleged conduct of the respondents namely the District Collector, Ranga Reddy District, the Mandal Revenue Officer, Shameerpet and the Revenue Divisional Officer, Shameerpet mandal in trespassing into the lands of the petitioners in S.Nos. 706/3, 758/2 of an extent of Ac. 14.00 situated at Malkaram village, Jawahar Nagar, Shameerpet Mandal, Ranga Reddy District without following the due process of law and even without issuing notices to the petitioners. There are two writ petitioners, one is represented by the General Secretary of the Association and the other is by its Treasurer. In para-7 it is vaguely alleged that the respondents have trespassed into the lands and caused damage to the plots owned by the petitioners. The petitioners claim to have been issued building permission under the signature of the Sarpanch, Garampanchayat, Jawar Nagar and an order bearing no reference number dt. 29.12.2001 purportedly under the signature of the Sarpanch is placed before this Court as the building permission granted on behalf of the Grampanchayat. It is not clear under what authority, the Sarpanch of the Grampanchayat had granted building permission. Be that as it may. As neither the State nor an instrumentality of the State is impleaded as respondent in the writ petition, but merely State actors such as the District Collector, Ranga Reddy, the Mandal Revenue Officer, Shameerpet and the Revenue Divisional Officer, Shameerpet Mandal are impleaded against whom the petitioner may as well pursue civil remedies before the civil court of competent jurisdiction by way of injunctive or other appropriate relief even without issuing a notice under Section 80 C.P.C. since such notice is warranted only where the suit is against the Government or a public servant acting in exercise of official powers, this Court is not inclined to adjudicate the vague grievance presented herein. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed at the stage of admission with liberty to the petitioners to pursue appropriate alternative remedies. No order as to costs. ___________________ GODA RAGHURAM,J 18.6.2009. KRB. THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM WRIT PETITION No. 11925 of 2009 Dated: 18.6.2009.
