In the counter aﬃdavit ﬁled on behalf of the respondents by the Tahsildar, Podalakur Mandal, dated 28.12.2007, it is stated that the petitioner is a landless poor person, that she was granted assignment patta for Ac.0.40 cents in Survey No.81 of Tatiparthi village, Podalakur Mandal, Nellore District in the year 1992, that ever since the grant of patta, she has been cultivating the said land and paying cist regularly from 1408 fasali, and that due to old age, she had inducted one Boggala Ramanareddy to cultivate the said land as a tenant but cists were being paid in the name of the assignee, and that she did not violate the conditions of the grant. It is stated that the Mandal Revenue Oﬃcer was not trying to evict the assignee from her assigned land as contended by her. The contention of the petitioner that the Mandal Revenue Oﬃcer, Podalakur was forcibly dispossessing her from the land, without following the procedure, is also denied. It is further stated that the said land is under the peaceful enjoyment of the tenant of the petitioner. In view of the averments in the counter aﬃdavit, it is evident that the respondents are not interfering with the petitioner’s possession over the land in question. The apprehension of the petitioner that she would be dispossessed is without basis. Since the respondents have themselves stated that they are not interfering with the possession of the petitioner, no further orders are required to be passed in this writ petition, and the same is, accordingly, closed. However, in the circumstances, without costs. __________________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J. Date: 26.08.2008 Nsr .....
