For the Respondent No.1: GP FOR REVENUE For the Respondent No.2: GP FOR HIGHER EDUCATION The Court at the stage of admission made the following : ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing on behalf of respondent No.1 and the learned Government Pleader for Higher Education appearing for respondent No.2. The petitioner claims to be owner of the house bearing No.1-16/2 (old 1-2/2) admeasuring 100.4 square yards in Survey No.255 of Mancherial town, situated adjacent to the land belonging to the second respondent-ITI. He states that some persons appear to have encroached into the land of the ITI, and the second respondent had provoked his students to dispossess and remove the structures raised by the encroachers, and during the course of their activities, the students illegally tried to demolish the structures of the petitioner. His grievance is that as the students and the employees of the ITI are frequently coming to his house and threatening to demolish the structures, he made a representation dated 18-12-2004 to the first respondent-Mandal Revenue Officer to enquire into the matter, but no action has been taken so far. Hence, the writ petition. Inasmuch as the second respondent-principal was stated to have provoked his students to take coercive steps in demolishing the structures of the petitioner, the petitioner can seek his remedies by filing a criminal case against the principal and his students, but not by invoking the extraordinary jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The petitioner has no locus standi to file the present writ petition, which has no merit. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed at the stage of admission. No costs. ______________ N.V.
