THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.1882 of 2008 Date: 08.11.2010 Between: Ashfaq Ali and others. … Petitioners and The District Collector, Ranga Reddy District and others. … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.1882 of 2008 ORDER: Though the interlocutory matters are listed for hearing, at the request of the learned counsel for the parties, the writ petition itself is taken up for final disposal. 2. In this writ petition, the petitioners seek a direction by way of Writ of Mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in trying to interfere with their possession over plot Nos.688, 749, 750, 751 and 752 in Sy.Nos.26 and 27, situated at Abhyudaya Nagar, Parvathapur village, Ghatkesar Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, without following due process of law as illegal and arbitrary. 3. It is the case of the petitioners that they are the purchasers of the aforesaid plots situated in Sy.Nos.26 and 27 of Abhyudaya Nagar, Parvathapur village, Ghatkesar Mandal and the respondents are now taking steps to dispossess them from the said land for the purpose of construction of houses under Indiramma Gruha Nirman Scheme. 4. From the counter affidavit filed on behalf of respondent Nos.1 and 2, it is evident that the land in question was declared as a surplus land and the possession of which was already taken by the respondents under the provisions of A.P. Land Reforms (Ceiling on Agriculture Holdings) Act, 1973 (for brevity “the Act”). It is also evident that the appeal filed by the petitioners before the appellate authority i.e., the Land Reforms Tribunal, Ranga Reddy District, was disposed of. 5. Since the land in question was already declared as surplus land and possession was also taken under the provisions of the Act, if the petitioners are aggrieved they can question the such orders and without questioning any of such orders under the provisions of the Act, they cannot simply seek a direction to the respondents not to interfere with their possession over the aforesaid lands. 6. In view of the averments made in the counter affidavit that the land in question is a surplus land, the possession of which was already taken by the respondents, no relief, as prayed for by the petitioners, can be granted in this writ petition. 7. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. However, this order will not preclude the petitioners to question the orders passed under A.P. Land Reforms (Ceiling on Agriculture Holdings) Act, 1973, if they are so aggrieved. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________________ JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY 08.11.2010.
