THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.419 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner submitted a representation dated 06-07-2009 to the respondents with a request to protect the land in Sy.Nos.336 and 337 of Peddapalli Village, Karimnagar District, from encroachers. According to him, M/s P.V. Rajeshwara Rao and P.V. Sanjeeva Rao, and their family members held vast extents of land in and around Peddapalli Village, and that in the proceedings initiated under the A.P. Land Reforms (Ceiling on Agricultural Holdings) Act, 1973 (for short ‘the Act’), an order was passed on 20-08-1998, by the Land Reforms Tribunal, Peddapalli, holding that the said family members are liable to surrender thousands of acres of land. He contends that, in spite of such orders, the landholders are in possession of the lands in Sy.Nos.336 and 337. The grievance of the petitioner is that the respondents are not taking any action on the representation. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, and learned Government Pleader for Revenue. The petitioner does not claim any right to himself, of the lands referred to above. Admittedly, the proceedings under the Act were initiated. The petitioner did not even make any effort to know the nature of the proceedings, that have ensued, subsequent to the order dated 20-08-1998. Further, when the proceedings are purely adversarial in nature, the third parties cannot be permitted to intervene, unless they claim any interest in the matter. At any rate, the petitioner is not aware, as to whether the proceedings have become final, and any land, in the two survey numbers, referred to above, has, either been surrendered, or the possession thereof has been taken by the Government. Therefore, the writ petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.19-01-2010. KO
