Statedly, they own agricultural lands in various survey numbers in Dharmaram Village of Jagadevepur Mandal, Gajwel Taluq in Medak District. They also allege that these are ancestral properties which are in possession of the family for over fifty years where they are cultivating vegetables. They further allege that on 25.03.2010 the staff from the Office of respondent Nos.3 and 4 trespassed into their lands and started drilling the land for the purpose of laying a new road. They, therefore, filed the instant writ petition impugning the said action as arbitrary and unconstitutional. At the stage of admission itself the Standing Counsel for respondent No.5 obtained instructions. According to him no new road is being taken up and that the existing road in the locality is being strengthened. The same is recorded. This Court further observes that if the petitioners are in possession of the land in various survey numbers as alleged in the writ petition either as owners or having encroached upon the same, they cannot be evicted without due process of law. The Writ Petition with the above observations is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 31.03.2010 vs
