Learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondents submits that out of the land admeasuring Ac.1-38 gts., an extent of Ac.1-24 gts. was acquired by following due process of law. Infact, an award was passed by the Revenue Divisional Officer, Vikarabad, vide proceedings No.C/314/98, dated 29-05-1999, and possession was also taken under a cover of panchanama on 30-05-1999. It is stated that the said land was allotted in favour of houseless poor persons but the beneficiaries have not constructed houses at present and the land is kept vacant. In view of the acquisition of the land admeasuring Ac.1-24 gts., I am of the opinion that the petitioner cannot have any claim or right in respect of the said land, even though the said land is kept vacant. After acquiring the land admeasuring Ac.1-24 gts., out of Ac.1-38 gts., the land admeasuring Ac.0-14 gts. is in possession of the petitioners. It is stated that pattadar pass book and title deed were also issued in respect of the land admeasuring Ac.0-14 gts. in Sy.No.53, situated at Madharam Village, Nawabpet Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents not to dispossess the petitioners from the land admeasuring Ac.0-14 gts. in Sy.No.53, situated at Madharam Village, Nawabpet Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, without following due process of law. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________ 26-02-2008 Prv ..... REGISTRAR // TRUE COPY // SECTION OFFICER To 1.2CCs to 2.2CD copies Form-NIC-OGS/WP{RLD}
