THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION Nos.15583 and 15584 of 2007 Dated: 23-07-2007 Between: Kolli Sandhya Rani and others. ..... PETITIONERS AND The District Collector, Krishna District, and others. .....RESPONDENT THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION Nos.15583 and 15584 of 2007 COMMON ORDER: W.P.No.15583 of 2007 is filed by eleven petitioners and the other writ petition is filed by twelve petitioners. All of them are residents of Unikilli Village, Mandavalli Mandal, Krishna District. They were allegedly in possession of the land by way of D Form pattas issued in 1985. It is averred that third respondent issued notice to one Sri U.Ramaraju, S/o Narasimha Raju on 30.05.2007 under the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977 (the Act, for brevity) alleging that he is the transferee of assigned land. In said show-cause notice the land assigned to the petitioners was also mentioned. Therefore, the petitioners apprehend that they might be dispossessed without any notice and without any due process of law. Alleging that the respondents are inspecting their land with a view to evict them, the petitioners filed instant writ petition. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioners, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (Assignment) and perusing the affidavits accompanying the writ petitions, this Court is convinced that the writ petitions are filed on mere apprehension. The petitioners have annexed copies of D Form pattas allegedly issued to them in 1985. If that be so, it is needless to observe that if for any reason, the assignment in favour of the petitioners has to be cancelled and the land has to be resumed, third respondent, namely, the Tahsildar, has to follow due process of law and take necessary action under the Act. This observation is made to dispel any apprehension in the minds of the petitioners. The writ petitions, with the above observations, are accordingly dismissed. No costs. ___________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 23rd July, 2007 ghn
