Vijaya Simha, Aged about 27 years, R/o.Vutukuru Village, Vinjamur Mandal, Nellore District And others …Petitioners AND The Mandal Revenue Officer, Vinjamur Village and Mandal, Nellore District And others …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO Writ Petition No.20743 of 2002 ORDER: The first respondent herein assigned an extent of Acs.4.00 each to petitioners vide proceedings dated 30.12.2001. Petitioners statedly took possession of the land and are cultivating the same. They also state that their names are duly mutated in revenue records as well as in 10 (1) Adangals apart from cist receipt for Fasli 1410. First respondent has issued notice/order dated 24.07.2002 directing petitioners not to enter the land or not to cultivate the land because, some of the villagers of Vutukuru village raised objections requesting allotment of land to poor people. Aggrieved by these notices, petitioners filed instant writ petition. This Court, while admitting the writ petition, suspended the notice impugned in the writ petition. Even after lapse of seven years, no counter affidavit is filed by respondents. This Court heard learned counsel for petitioners. A perusal of impugned notice/order would show that the same was triggered by alleged complaint/request made by villagers of Vutukuru Village and no other allegation warranting cancellation of D-Form Pattas was found in impugned notice. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of, observing that petitioners are entitled to enjoy the agricultural land assigned to them by way of D-Form Pattas and unless and until the same are cancelled following due process of law, their possession cannot be interfered with. The writ petition, with the above observations, is accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) October 08, 2009 Bvv
