Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner herein along with his family members are in peaceful possession and enjoyment of the land admeasuring to an extent of Ac.0.15 cents situated at Sy.No.361 of Cherivi Village, Sathyavedu Mandal, Tirupati District from past 30 years without there being any interference or hindrance from any quarter. Due to his long standing possession over the subject property, the petitioner was issued a house site patta to an extent of Ac.0.03 cents out of the subject land. Thereafter, the petitioner herein got constructed an RCC building in the land allocated to him and the remaining land has been utilized for agricultural
purposes and the petitioner has been paying all the required taxes regularly without any default. Thereafter, on 11.03.2020, the Panchayat Secretary, Cherivi Gram Panchayat issued a possession confirmation certificate in favour of the petitioner. While so, to the utter surprise of the petitioner, on 03.03.2025, respondent No.4 along with his staff visited and inspected the subject premises and threatened the petitioner to vacate the subject premises without issuing any notice or without following due procedure as contemplated under the law and without assigning any reasons for such eviction/ dispossession. 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 submits that if the respondents intend to dispossess the petitioner from the subject property, the respondents will follow due process of law.
5. Having regard to the submissions made by both the learned counsel and on perusal of the material placed on record, this Court is of the considered opinion that the present Writ Petition can be disposed of, directing the respondents not to dispossess the petitioner from the subject property 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. _________________________________ VENKATESWARLU NIMMAGADDA, J 11.03.2025 BSP
