GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following: 4 COMMON ORDER Since the issue involved in all the writ petitions is similar in nature, they are being disposed of by this common order. 2. The petitioners in W.P.No.15337, 15365 & 15403 of 2020 claim that they are the absolute owners and possessors of land admeasuring an extent of Ac.0.7 cents each in Sy.No.818/2C of Nandigama Village and Mandal, Krishna District. In so far as the petitioner in W.P.No.15389 of 2020 is concerned, he claims that he is owner of land to an extent of Ac.0.10 cents in RS.No.818/2C. It is further case of the petitioners that, they have purchased their respective lands by virtue of registered sale deed dated 05.09.2014. It is their further case that, since the date of purchase of the subject lands, they have been in peaceful possession and enjoyment of the same. The petitioners also filed copies of Form-1B and adangals to show that the subject properties are private patta lands and the names of their vendors are also reflected in revenue records. It is their further case that the 4th respondent tired to interfere with their possession, without issuing any notice or following due process of law. Aggrieved by 5 the said, they approached this Court by filing the above mentioned writ petitions. 3. On the other hand, the 4th respondent filed counter affidavit admitting that the petitioners are the absolute owners of the subject lands. It is further averred in the counter affidavit that an extent of Ac.0.98 cents in RS.No.818/3C is abutting to the lands of the petitioners is in existence, which is classified as vaagu poramboke. Taking advantage of the fact that vaagu poramboke land is situated abutting to the lands of the petitioners, they encroached into vaagu poramboke situated in RS.No.818/3C. On coming to know about the encroachment made by the petitioners, they were orally instructed not to interfere with the said vaagu poramboke lands situated in RS.No.818/3C. The 4th respondent denied the alleged interference with the petitioners land. 4. It is not in dispute that the land in RS.No.818/2C is private patta land belonging to the petitioners. It is also not in dispute that land admeasuring an extent of Ac.0.98 cents in RS.No.818/3C is classified as vaagu poramboke. On a perusal of the counter affidavit, the 4th respondent categorically averred that he is not interfering with the possession of the petitioners in respect of Rs.No.818/2C. Further, when the petitioners tried to encroach 6 into vaagu poramboke land in RS.No.818/3C, they were directed not to enter into the same inasmuch as the said land vests with the Government. 5. In view of the above submissions made by both parties, the writ petitions are disposed of directing the 4th respondent not to interfere with the possession of the petitioners in respect of RS.No.818/2C. It is further made clear that, in case the petitioners encroach into vaagu poramboke lands in RS.No.818/3C, it is always open to the 4th respondent to initiate action in accordance with law. 6. With the above directions, the writ petitions are disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel, pending applications, if any, shall stand closed. _____________________ JUSTICE T.C.D.SEKHAR Dt.25.03.2025 DSB 7 166 THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE T.C.D.SEKHAR W.P.Nos.15337, 15365, 15403 & 15389 of of 2020 Date: 25.03.2025 DSB 8
