And others …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO Writ Petition No.11649 of 2002 ORDER: Two petitioners are residents of Brahmana Agraharam, Karlapalem Mandal, Guntur District. Statedly, they were given D-Form Pattas. First petitioner was assigned Acs.2.18 guntas in Survey No.874/10-A and second petitioner was assigned similar extent of land in Survey No.874/10- B. The land is situated at Perali Village, Karlapalem Mandal, Guntur District. They also obtained Pattadar Passbooks from Mandal Revenue Officer, Karlapalem Mandal. Petitioners allege that as the land is adjacent to Uppateru and having found that it is not suitable for cultivation, they proposed to cultivate prawn crop by leasing the land to intending lessees. Accordingly, lands were given for prawn cultivation and prawn seedlings were valued at Rs.1,30,000/- (Rupees one lakh thirty thousand only) at the growing stage. It is alleged that Revenue Inspector, Karlapalem Mandal, Guntur District and other employees of A.P. Scheduled Caste Cooperative Society Limited conducted a raid on prawn cultivation area and threatened to dispossess the petitioners. Therefore, they seek Writ of Mandamus directing respondents not to disturb the possession. Though the writ petition was admitted in July 2002, none of the respondents filed counter affidavits traversing petition averments. Therefore, instead of keeping the writ petition pending, the same is disposed of observing that unless and until petitioners are put to notice and assignment in their favour is cancelled, petitioners cannot be disturbed from their lands, nor they can be prevented from enjoying the lands. The writ petition is accordingly, disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) September 14, 2009 Bvv
