Petitioner And The Mandal Revenue Officer, Chirala Mandal, Prakasam District and others. .. Respondents ORDER: Petitioner claims to be the owner and possessor of the land in 0.20 cents in R.S.No.210/3 of Epurupalem Village, Chirala Mandal, Prakasam District. It is his grievance that the 1st respondent - Mandal Revenue Officer, Chirala Mandal, Prakasam District, without following due process under law, issued house site pattas to some third parties in respect of the subject land and is seeking to dispossess him therefrom. A detailed counter-affidavit is filed by the 1st respondent, wherein, while denying the allegations made by the petitioner and his possession of the land in Sy.No.210/3, it is stated that the land in Sy.No.210/3 is classified as AW land in the revenue records and assigned under DKT pattas and as such the provisions of Andhra Pradesh Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977, are applicable to the same. It is, however, stated that no house site pattas are granted in respect of the subject land in Sy.No.210/3, and it is the land in Sy.No.210/2, admeasuring 0.08 cents, which was allotted under house site pattas. It is further categorically stated that no proceedings are initiated for cancellation of the assignments made in respect of the land in Sy.No.210/3 and if any such proceedings need to be initiated, due process of law will be followed. In view of the above-said stand taken by the 1st respondent, no further orders need be passed in this writ petition. Accordingly, the writ petition is closed, placing on record the stand taken by the 1st respondent referred above. No order as to costs. __________________ JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA 5th August, 2010 IBL
