2. Heard
learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Revenue for the respondents.
3.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner herein is the absolute owner and possessor of the lands admeasuring to an extent of Ac.0.9y2 cents in Sy.No.38/11a and Ac.0.9y2 cents in Sy.No.38/11b, totalling to an extent of Ac.0.19 cents situated at Kurivikuppam Village, Vedurukuppam Mandal, Chittoor District having acquired the same through a registered sale deed dated
18.03.2023. Since then, the petitioner has been in peaceful possession and enjoyment of the subject land by raising seasonal crops every year, without there being any interference or hindrance from any quarter. Later, the respondent authorities also issued pattadar pass book and title
w deed in her favour. While things stood thus, the respondent No.4 without issuing any notice or without following due procedure as contemplated under the law and without assigning any reasons is threatening the petitioner to vacate the subject premises. Such action of the respondents in interfering with the peaceful possession and enjoyment of the subject property of the petitioner without following the due procedure as contemplated under law is highly illegal, arbitrary and contrary to law. Hence, the writ petition.
4. On the other hand, learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondents furnished written instructions dated 13.03.2025, issued by respondent No.4, wherein, it is stated that the respondents are not taking steps to dispossess the petitioner from the subject property and it is only an apprehension on part of the petitioner that the respondents are interfering/ dispossessing the petitioner from the subject property. He further submits that if the respondents intend to interfere with the peaceful possession and enjoyment of the subject property of the petitioner, the respondents would follow due process of law.
5. Having regard to the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for the respondents and in view of the written instructions dated 13.03.2025, this Court is of the considered opinion that the present Writ Petition can be
disposed of, directing the respondents not to interfere with the peaceful possession and enjoyment of the subject property of the petitioner, 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. Consequently, Miscellaneous Petitions, if any, pending in the writ petition shall stand closed.
