HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI W.P.No.16673 of 2008 O R D E R; The petitioners, assignees of an extent of Ac.2.49 cents situated in S.No.524-1A and Ac.2.47 cents in S.No.524-1B respectively of Rallaanantapuram village, Kambadur Mandal, Anantapur District, have filed this writ petition to declare the action of the 1st respondent the Tahasildar, Kambadur Mandal, in interfering with their peaceful possession and enjoyment of the said lands, as illegal. The undisputed facts are that the 1st petitioner was assigned patta for an extent of Ac.2.49 cents situated in S.No.524-1A and the 2nd petitioner was assigned to an extent of Ac.2.47 cents in S.No.524-1B under orders in DAR Dis.No.120/1413 dated 28.06.2004. The 1st respondent has also issued pattadar pass books to the petitioners, and ever since the petitioners have been in possession and enjoyment of the said land. It is alleged that the 1st respondent started interfering with the possession of the petitioners without there being any valid reason, as such they filed this writ petition, contending that the 1st respondent fabricated a patta in favour of the 2nd respondent herein and in the guise of the same, the respondents have attempted to occupy the land. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for the 1st respondent. The 2nd respondent, despite service of notice, has remained ex parte. It is the specific case of the petitioners that the aforesaid land has been assigned in their favour and during the subsistence of the patta the respondents have no manner of right to disturb their possession or prevent them from enjoying the said land. The 1st respondent in his counter-affidavit admitted the said fact that the petitioners have been granted patta and they have been in possession and enjoyment of the land continuously ever since the assignment. It is stated that in order to verify possession, a report was called for from the Mandal Revenue Inspector, Kambadur. The said Mandal Revenue Inspector submitted a report observing that the petitioners alone are in possession and cultivating the land for several years. An enquiry was conducted into the patta alleged to have been granted to the 2nd respondent herein and after due enquiry, it is confirmed that the 2nd respondent obtained patta and pattadar pass book in respect of an extent of Ac. 04.97 cents in S.No.524-1 on misrepresentation of facts. In view of the same, the 1st respondent submitted report to the Revenue Divisional Officer, Dharmavaram for cancellation of patta and pattadar pass book granted in favour of the 2nd respondent. In view of the facts admitted by the 1st respondent, it is evident that the petitioners hold valid patta in their favour and the 1st respondent is not justified in either obstructing or interfering with their possession and enjoyment of the land. In the light of the above discussion, the Writ Petition is allowed. No costs. _______________ NOUSHAD ALI, J 23rd November, 2010. PNV
