E V V S RAVI KUMAR Counsel for the Respondent(S): 1. GP FOR REVENUE (AP) 2 The Court made the following order: 1. It is the case of the petitioners that they have purchased lands admeasuring an extent of Ac.2.00 cents in Sy.No.66-5 and an extent of Ac.1.00 cents in Sy.No.66-3 by virtue of registered sale deeds vide document Nos.5403/2006 and 5511/2006 from their vendor Ullasa Vajramma, W/o Gnanaandham and Bitra Swamulamma and her sons. It is further case of the petitioners that since the date of purchase they are in peaceful possession and enjoyment of the subject lands by cultivating the same. It is further averred in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition that the respondents started interfering with the possession of the petitioners on the premise that the lands are required for allotment of house sites under Navaratnalu Pedalandariki Illu scheme, without issuing any notice to them. When the respondents tried to forcefully dispossess the petitioners, the present petition came to be filed. 2. This Court, by order dated 09.03.2020, directed the respondents not to dispossess the petitioners from the subject land for a period of two (02) weeks. 3 3. When the matter is taken up for hearing, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue placed instructions dt.06.03.2025, furnished by the Tahsildar, Chirala. 4. On a perusal of the said instructions, it is clear that the Tahsildar issued notice dt.19.02.2020 in Form-I and Form-II of Act 9 of 1977 asking the petitioner to show cause as to why they shall not be evicted from the subject lands. The instructions further read that upon receipt of the show cause notice dt.19.02.2020, the petitioners filed their explanation along with certain documents. When the matter is pending consideration before the Tahsildar, the petitioners rushed to this Court by filing the present writ petition. Though it is contended by the petitioners that a criminal notice was issued, on a perusal of the instructions furnished by the Tahsildar, it is clear that a notice was issued on 19.02.2020 and in fact the petitioners are also subjected themselves before the said authority for enquiry by filing certain documents. 5. In order to put a quietus to the litigation, the present writ petition is disposed of directing the Tahsildar, Chirala to issue fresh Form-I and II notices to the petitioners and upon which the petitioners are further directed to offer their explanation to the 4 said notices. Thereafter the respondents are directed to pass appropriate orders in the matter. It is made clear that till appropriate decision is taken in the matter, the petitioners shall not be dispossessed from the subject lands. 6. With the above observation, the present Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs. As a sequel, pending applications, if any, shall stand closed. _____________________ JUSTICE T.C.D.SEKHAR Dt.20.03.2025 JLV 5 418 THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE T.C.D.SEKHAR W.P.No.7746 of 2020 Date: 20.03.2025 JLV
