Respondents Counsel for petitioner : Sri Vedula Srinivas Counsel for respondents : Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue The Court made the following : : ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed for a mandamus to declare the action of respondent No.2 in measuring Ac.0-80 cents of land comprised in S.No.1031/1A and 1031/1C of Basinikonda village, Kondamarripalle Panchayat of Madanapalle Mandal, Chittoor District and threatening the petitioner to dispossess him from the land as illegal. The petitioner sought for a consequential direction to respondent No.2 not to interfere with his possession. I have heard the learned counsel representing Sri Vedula Srinivas, learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue. According to the petitioner, the land referred to above was purchased under two sale deeds dated 1-3-2008 and 9-9-2010, that pattadar passbook in respect of Ac.0-40 cents in S.No.1031-1A was issued and that on 24-9-2010, the petitioner applied for conversion of Ac.0-72 cents into non-agricultural land under the provisions of A.P. Agricultural Land (Conversion for Non-agricultural Purposes) Act 2006, which is stated to be pending with respondent No.2. The petitioner pleaded that about one week prior to the filing of the Writ Petition, respondent No.2 accompanied by the Revenue Inspector and other staff, visited the land and informed the petitioner that the same belongs to the Government and that it was an assigned land. According to the petitioner, the land in Sy.No.1031 is not part of the notification issued vide G.O.Ms.No.281, dated 5-3-2008, which included all the assigned lands in the District and that therefore the respondents have no power or authority to interfere with the petitioner’s possession. While granting time to the respondents for filing counter affidavit on 2-11-2010, this court directed that the petitioner shall not be dispossessed from the land admeasuring Ac.0-80 cents without following due process of law. No counter affidavit has been filed. At the hearing, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue stated that if the land is found to be an assigned land or the same belongs to the Government, the respondents will not dispossess the petitioner without following the due process of law. This statement of the learned Assistant Government Pleader is placed on record and the Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP No.34715/2010 is disposed of as infructuous. ____________________ C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy.,J Date : 13-12-2010 AM
