Counsel for the Petitioners: MR.C.RAGHU Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : ORDER: This writ petition is filed by the petitioners stating that they are landless poor persons and were allotted plots bearing plot Nos.1 and 2 admeasuring 0.02 ½ cents each situated in Sy.No.116/1A/A of Ongole Village and Mandal, Prakasam District by the then Mandal Reevnue Officer, Ongole vide D.K.No.148(A)/1412 Fasli dated 21.8.2003 and possession was also delivered to them. Thereafter, on 16.7.2007, they made an application before the 4th respondent seeking permission for construction of houses and also paid requisite amounts towards developmental charges and other charges and accordingly after careful scrutiny, permission was accorded on 20.7.2007 and 16.7.2007. While the matters stood thus, when they are proceeding with the construction, the 5th respondent is interfering with their construction activity and in his support, the 3rd respondent – Tahsildar, Ongole is coming to their land and threatening them to dispossess. In such circumstances, they made a representation on 28.8.2007 to respondents 1 and 2 – the District Collector and Revenue Divisional Officer, Prakasam bringing to their notice the fact situation but the same is refused to be received by them. Hence they filed the present writ petition seeking a direction to the respondents not to interfere or dispossess them from their respective plots. A counter affidavit is filed by the 3rd respondent – Tahsildar, Ongole, Prakasam District inter alia stating that the petitioners produced forged patta before this Court in the year 2002. The revenue records also do not reflect either the names of the petitioners or their possession. Initially the land in an extent of Ac.0.03 and Ac.0.02 ½ cents was given to one Smt.Chakiri Venkata Ratnamma, daughter-in- law of Sri Prakasam Panthulu, the 1st Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh and as such, the writ petitioners are not entitled for the house sites. Since the documents produced by the petitioners are forged, the respondents filed complaint before the concerned police and investigation is in progress. Further, the suit filed by the petitioners against the private parties was dismissed n 14.11.2007. In view of the above counter averments, I see no reason to entertain the writ petition. It is accordingly dismissed. N.V.RAMANA,J DT.22.7.2008 msv .....
