THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.16498 OF 2003 Dated: 05.12.2011 Between : 1. C.Chandrasekhar Raju and 4 others. … Petitioners And 1. The District Collector, Chittoor and 9 others.… Respondents THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.16498 OF 2003 ORDER : The petitioners herein claim title and possession in respect of the land situated in Sy.Nos.171 to 174 of S.V. Puram Revenue Village, Vadamaalapet Mandal, Chittoor District. This writ petition is ﬁled aggrieved by the action of the respondents in proposing to lay a road across the land belonging to the petitioners covering water channel through which the petitioners are drawing water to cultivate their lands. This Court while issuing Rule Nisi, by order dated 7.8.2003 directed that status quo obtaining as on that date shall be maintained. Despite notice, no counter-aﬃdavit is ﬁled on behalf of any of the respondents and the interim order of status quo has been in operation all through. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondents 1 & 2 and keeping in view the uncontroverted averments in the writ petition, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the respondents 1 & 2 not to interfere with possession of the petitioners in respect of the land in question in any manner whatsoever without following due process of law. No costs. ______________ G. ROHINI, J. Dt. 05.12.2011 gbs
