In the counter-aﬃdavit ﬁled by respondent No.3, while denying the claim of the petitioner that trenches are being dug on his land, it is stated that as shown in the revenue sketch marked ‘A’ and ‘B’, which is enclosed to the counter-aﬃdavit, the trench for pipe culvert is dug on the Government land. It is further stated that the department is not acquiring any private land as the road is being formed on the Government land alone and that Survey Nos.108, 109, 110, 113, 115 and 116 of Utchaguntapalem Village, Dagadarthi Mandal are classiﬁed as Government donka and that the petitioner’s land is in no way aﬀected by the formation of R & B road. He also asserted that no water enters the petitioner’s land except during floods. No reply-affidavit is filed controverting these averments. In view of the averments in the counter-aﬃdavit, the petitioner’s claim that the respondents are interfering with his land and carrying out works of digging trenches and laying pipelines cannot be accepted. The writ petition is, therefore, dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to approach the competent Civil Court, if any part of his land is sought to be used for the above purpose.
