THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.CHANDRAIAH W.P.NO.15421 OF 2008 O R D E R Heard both the counsel. 2. The case of the petitioners as stated in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition is that they are landless poor and are cultivating the land in an extent of about Acs.2-00 each in Sy.Nos.120 and 145 situated at Ankushapur Revenue Village of Kataram Mandal, Karimnagar District, which survey number consists of Acs.295-00. Considering their social status, they were issued final patta certificates by the Tahasildar Kataram. Now their grievance is that the authorities of the respondent – Forest Department, under the guise of the survey of forest are tying to erect fencing in their lands and thus interfering with their possession. Hence the writ petition. 3. In the counter affidavit it is stated inter alia that the respondents never interfered with the possession of the petitioners over the land in Sy.No.120 and 145 of Ankasapoor, except their reserve forest in C.No.307 of Medipally extension block. 4. Recording the above statement and having regard to the fact that the petitioners are granted pattas for the land in question, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents not to interfere with the possession of the petitioners, except in due process of law. No costs. AVS -------------------------------- 17—06—2010
