THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR Writ Petition No.17789 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner stakes a claim over the land in R.S.Nos.229 and 21/6 of Darbhagudem Village, Buttaigudem Mandal, West Godavari District, to an extent of Acs.8.94 cents. He claims protection under the order passed by the Special Deputy Collector (Tribal Welfare), Kota Ramahandra Puram, dated 15.07.1993. It is his case that in spite of the order in his favour, the tribal groups of the village are interfering with his possession. Accordingly, he seeks implementation of the order, dated 15.07.1993, passed by the Special Deputy Collector (Tribal Welfare) and also seeks a direction to the police and revenue authorities to protect his land from such interference. The petitioner has not chosen to name any of the persons who are allegedly interfering with his possession. If it is his case that any private person is unlawfully trespassing his property or interfering with his possession, so as to invite application of penal laws, it is always open to the petitioner to register a complaint with the police concerned and in the event, no action is taken, to approach the Superintendent of Police concerned under Section 154(3) Cr.P.C. or the Magistrate concerned under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C. Without availing these remedies, the petitioner cannot directly approach this Court, unless exceptional circumstances warrant so. No such situation is made out in the present case. Further it is not his case that the revenue authorities are in any manner interfering with his possession. Therefore, he cannot seek a direction against the revenue authorities to provide protection against the interference by private persons. In the light of the law laid down by the Supreme Court in Sakiri Vasu v. State of Uttar Pradesh and others[1], the remedy of the petitioner is not to approach this Court directly by way of this writ petition, but to avail the appropriate remedy under the Cr.P.C. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed leaving it open to the petitioner to avail the remedy under the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. No costs. ___________________ SANJAY KUMAR, J.
