The land was purchased under registered sale deed dated 28.08.1969. It appears, Special Deputy Tahasildar (Tribal Welfare), K.R.Puram, filed a complaint under Section 3(2) of the Andhra Pradesh Scheduled Areas Land Transfer Regulation, 1959 (Regulation No.I of 1959) as amended by Regulation I of 1970, against the petitioner. The Special Deputy Collector (Tribal Welfare), K.R.Puram, conducted enquiry in S.R.No.90 of 1991, and by an order dated 15.03.1991, dismissed the complaint filed by the Special Deputy Tahasildar holding that there is no violation of the regulation. It is alleged that in spite of the same, the Mandal Revenue Officer is not allowing the petitioner or his farm servant for cultivating the land. Therefore, the present writ petition is filed. This Court has perused the order passed by the Special Deputy Collector, which supports the contention of the petitioner raised in the affidavit accompanying the writ petition. Therefore, unless and until the said order is set aside or due process of law is followed, the second respondent cannot interfere with the possession of the petitioner nor prevent him from cultivating the land. The Writ Petition, with the above observations, is accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 26.08.2009 vs
