Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION NO.19225 OF 2009 ORDER: According to the petitioners, after prolonged litigation, they were declared as the owners of the land in an extent of Ac.10-05 guntas in Sy.No.32 of Asifnagar village. But, however, possession has not been handed over to them. Hence, they approached this Court and filed the present writ petition seeking a direction to the 3rd respondent to provide necessary police protection for the purpose of handing over the said land to the petitioners. When this matter is taken up for hearing, the learned counsel for the petitioner has drawn my attention to the letter dated 29.04.2009 addressed by the Tahsildar, Asifnagar to the 3rd respondent. In the said letter, the Tahsildar categorically stated that the writ petition filed by the petitioners was disposed of in their favour and as such, the said land has to be handed over to the petitioners and he further requested the 3rd respondent to provide necessary police protection. In the light of the said letter filed along with the material papers, this Court is of the view that the 3rd respondent can be directed to provide the required police protection to the Tahsildar, so that the Tahsildar, Asifnagar will hand over the land of an extent of Ac.10-05 guntas in Survey No.32 of Asifnagar village, Asifnagar Mandal, Hyderabad to the petitioners. Accordingly, this writ petition is allowed at the stage of admission. No order as to costs. ________________________ GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J September 11, 2009 KSH
