THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.20737 of 2005 29.9.2005 Between: Savaravilli Ram Babu, S/o.Late Narayana, Mindivanipalem, Sonthyam Post, Anandapuram Mandal, Visakhapatnam District. … Petitioner. AND 1. The Mandal Revenue Officer, Anandapuram Mandal, Visakhapatnam District. And others. … Respondents. ORDER: The petitioner was allegedly assigned land admeasuring Acs.3.00 in Survey No.347/P of Sonthyam Village, Anandapuram Mandal, Visakhapatnam District. He also alleges that he is in possession of the land and is cultivating the same. On 12.9.2005, the first respondent along with his officials allegedly came to the land and directed the petitioner to vacate, on the ground that the same land is to be handed over to Visakhapatnam Urban Development Authority (VUDA), the third respondent herein. Therefore, apprehending forcible eviction from the land, the petitioner seeks a direction to the respondents not to evict him from the land. The learned Standing Counsel for VUDA, after getting instructions in the matter, states that on 12.9.2005 none of the officials of the VUDA have gone to the petitioner’s land. The learned Standing Counsel rightly submits that the writ petition has filed on mere apprehension, though there is no proper cause of action or factual foundation. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to follow due process of law, if the petitioner is in possession of the land, which is not surplus land under the provisions of Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act, 1976. The writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of. No costs. ______________ September 29, 2005 (V.V.S.RAO,J) NOTE: Issue order copy by 03.10.2005. (B/o) YS
