HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY Writ Petition No.12359 of 2008 Date: July 29, 2011 Between: Smt.P.Prasanthi, W/o.Ram Murthy, Aged 36 years, Occ:housewife, R/o. Adavikolanu, Nidamarru, West Godavari District … Petitioner And The District Collector, W.G. District, Eluru, and others … Respondents Order: This writ petition is filed with a prayer which reads as under: “For the reasons stated in the accompanying affidavit, it is hereby prayed that this Hon’ble Court may be pleased to issue a writ, order or direction more particularly one in the nature of writ of Mandamus declaring the action of respondents 2 and 3 in taking away the petitioner’s land with an extent of Ac.3.52 cents situated in S.No.4/1 situated at Pedaramachandrapuram village, Nidamarru Mandal, W.G.District, as illegal, arbitrary and without following the procedure and violative of Art.300.A of the Constitution of India." It is the grievance of the petitioner that though the land in question is a private patta land, respondents are taking steps to dispossess her without following due process of law. At the stage of admission, this Court, by order dated 16.06.2008, in WPMP No.15921 of 2008 directed status quo to be maintained with regard to possession. The petitioner, in support of her claim, filed copies of pattadar pass books and title deeds. No counter-affidavit is filed by the respondents controverting the claim of the petitioner. As much as the petitioner claims that the land in question is her private patta land and also relies on pattadar pass books issued to her, there shall be a direction to the respondents not to dispossess the petitioner from the land admeasuring Ac.3.52 cents situated in S.No.4/1 situated at Pedaramachandrapuram village, Nidamarru Mandal, W.G.District. However, if there is any violation of the provisions under the A.P.Rights in Land and Pattadar Pass Books Act, 1971, this order will not preclude the respondents from taking steps in accordance with law. Writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. __________________ (R.SUBHASH REDDY, J) July 29, 2011 MRR
