The grievance of the petitioner is that the respondents are trying to evict him on the ground that it is a Government land. It is contended that neither a notice was issued nor any proceedings were initiated in respect of the said land. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. A perusal of the copy of the pattedar passbook issued to the petitioner, by the Revenue authorities, discloses that the land referred to above was mentioned in it. The petitioner has also filed copies of cist receipts for the said land. Even assuming that there is any cloud over the title of the petitioner in respect of the said land, the respondents have to initiate necessary proceedings under the relevant provisions of law. There cannot be any justification for them to unilaterally and straightaway proceed against the petitioner without issuing any notice or initiating proceedings. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents not to interfere with the rights of the petitioner vis-à-vis land referred to above, without following the procedure prescribed by law. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________________ (L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J) 25th May, 2006 rkk/ksld THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO.10352 OF 2006 Date: 25-05-2006
