THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE ELIPE DHARMA RAO WRIT PETITION No. 16530 of 2005 Dated: 09.08.2005 Between: 1) Gogulothu Chander, s/o. Bhadru, aged about 40 years, Garimellupadu village, Penubelli Gram- panchayat, Kothagudem, Khammam dist. & another …Petitioner And 1) The Govt. of A.P., rep. by its District Collector, Khammam district & two others Respondents ORDER: The Writ Petition is filed challenging the action of the respondents in interfering with the peaceful possession and enjoyment of the petitioners in respect of the lands situated at Garmellapadu village, Penubelli grampanchayat, Kothagudemmandal, Khammam district in sy. No.1/1 and threatening them of dispossession, and consequently direct the respondents not to interfere with their possession and enjoyment. It is the case of the petitioners that the above land is their ancestral property and they are in possession and enjoyment of the same since a long time by paying land revenue and the entries in revenue records also show the same. On 15.07.2005, the third respondent and his staff came to the petitioners and demanded to vacate the lands or otherwise threatened with dire consequences and forcible eviction, which is illegal. Having heard both the counsel and on perusal of the record, I deem it appropriate to direct the respondents not to interfere or dispossess the petitioners from the aforesaid land without following due process of law. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, disposed of. No order as to costs. ---------------------- 09.08.2005 DRK
