State of Andhra Pradesh, rep. by its Principal Secretary, Revenue Department, Secretariat Buildings, Secretariat, Hyderabad, and others. RESPONDENTS

ORDER:

The case of the petitioner is that his forefathers were allotted House No.4-5 and land in a rehabilitated scheme when the Kandaleru Sangam reservoir was constructed in 1700 Century by the British Government, and after the inheritance, he is in possession and enjoyment of the said property by paying all the taxes. While so, the officials of the 4th respondent have visited the house site stating that the 3rd respondent granted the house site, which is in the Gram Panchayat, for construction of Anganvadi Kendram by the 4th respondent. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner

filed the present writ petition.

Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (A.P.) for respondents.

It is not in dispute before this Court that the land in question was allotted to the forefathers of the petitioner in a rehabilitated scheme when the Kandaleru Sangam Reservoir was constructed, and that the petitioner has been in possession and enjoyment of the said property by paying all the taxes up to date. Hence, I deem it appropriate to direct the respondents not to dispossess the petitioner without following due procedure prescribed by law.

Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents not to dispossess the petitioner without following due procedure prescribed by law. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel, miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall stand closed.
