HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C. PRAVEEN KUMAR WRIT PETITION No. 21539 of 2013 ORDER:

1) The present writ petition came to be filed with the following relief:

" issuance of writ of mandamus declaring the action of the respondent authorities in threatening to dispossess the petitioner from the land admeasuring Ac.0.50 cents in Sy.No.709/ A of Kallur Village and Mandal, Kurnool District, without issuing any notice and without following the due process of law, as illegal and arbitrary; and consequently direct the respondents not to dispossess or in any manner interfere with the peaceful possession and enjoyment of the petitioner over the said plot."

2) By an order dated 19.07.2013, this Court while admitting the writ petition, passed the following order: " In the light of the allotment order evidencing that an extent of Ac.0.50 cents of land in Sy.NO.709 of Kallur Village was allotted to the petitioner, there shall be a direction to the respondents not to interfere with his possession over the same except in accordance with the due procedure laid down by law."

3) When the matter is taken up for hearing Sri M.Ravindranath Reddy, learned Standing Counsel for the third respondent-Corporation would submit that the question of their interference would not arise, as the land is not handed

over to the Corporation. The Government Pleader for Revenue denies the involvement of the revenue officials in illegal dispossession of the petitioner from the subject property.

4) Having regard to the above, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the respondents not to dispossess the petitioner from the subject property without following due process of law. However, if any action sought to be initiated, the same shall be in accordance with law.

5) There shall be no order as to costs. Consequently, miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this Writ Petition shall stand closed.
