The case of the petitioners is that they have been assigned house sites to an extent of Ac.0-02 cents each in R.S.No.27 of Eathakota Village, Ravulaplaem Mandal vide proceedings No.9/2004, dated 08.07.2004. Since the grant of the said assignment of house site pattas by the then 3rd respondent, they have been in continuous possession and enjoyment of their respective extents of land by constructing houses. While the things stood thus, the 3rd respondent, under the influence of some third parties, was making attempts to evict the petitioners from their subject properties and, therefore, the petitioners are constrained to file the present writ petition. 3. Today, when the matter came up for hearing, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue has furnished a copy of the instructions of 4 VS,J W.P.No.15147 of 2018 the 3rd respondent vide Ref:A/243/2026, dated 16.06.2026, wherein it is specifically stated that the apprehension expressed by the petitioners in the present writ petition is solely based on a presumed possibility of interference and not on any actual action initiated by the Revenue Authorities. It is also stated that no proceedings have been initiated by their office seeking eviction of the petitioners from the subject house sites. Further, no record is available in their office indicating any attempt by the Revenue Department to dispossess the petitioners from their alleged assigned sites. 4. As per the instructions of the 3rd respondent, it appears that there is no interference by the Revenue Authorities into the subject house sites allotted in favour of the petitioners. 5. In view of the same, instead of keeping the writ petition pending, this Court feels it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition by directing the respondents not to interfere with the petitioners’ possession over the subject house sites without following due process of law. 6. With the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel, Interlocutory Applications pending, if any, in this Writ Petition, shall stand closed. __________________ JUSTICE V.SUJATHA Dated 16.06.2026 KGR
