THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.28656 of 2008 ORDER: The petitioner alleges that the 4th respondent raised fencing, encroaching upon the passage, fixed to the land in Sy.No.237 of Venkatampet (Teededu) Village, Chintapally Mandal, Nalonda District. His grievance is that, though he brought the alleged acts of encroachments of a public passage by the 4th respondent to the notice of respondents 1 to 3, no action has been taken. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, and learned Government Pleader for Revenue. The main grievance of the petitioner is against respondent No.4. Assuming that the 4th respondent has encroached into any passage, or prevented the access of the petitioner to his land, the only course open to the petitioner is to file a suit. It is on such proceedings, that the question, whether the petitioner had any legal or easementary right of way, and whether the same has been violated by the 4th respondent; can be effectively adjudicated. The writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India can be maintained mainly against the Authorities of the State. The petitioner does not have any complaint, that the respondents 1 to 3 have violated his rights. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed, leaving it open to the petitioner to file a suit to enforce his rights. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J.
