Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Revenue for the respondents. 3. The claim of the petitioner herein is that he is the absolute owner and possessor of an agricultural land admeasuring Ac.1-93 cents in Sy.No.63/5A at Gesikapalli Revenue Village, Santhipuram Mandal, Kuppam Revenue Division, Chittoor District, having acquired the same from his ancestors. Since then, he has been in peaceful possession and enjoyment of the subject land. 4. While so, the respondent Nos. 5 to 8 are trying to interfere with the petitioner’s peaceful possession of the property and also trying to obtain mutation in their favour, as if, they are the owners of the subject property without there being any title, with the collusion of the 4th respondent herein. Hence, the present writ petition. 5. On the other hand, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue furnished written instructions submitted by the 4th respondent dated 27.06.2025, wherein it is stated that: “Further submit that, the DKT Patta No.370/4/1370 dated 07.02.1961 verified with village accounts of Gesikapalli Revenue Village of Santhipuram Mandal. The pattadar details found correct in the name of 4 NV,J W.P.15541 OF 2025 Sri.Nallappa Reddy S/o.Munaswamy reddy, but there is no procession of pattadar or legal heirs in entire Ac.1-93 cents in Sy.No.63/5A. Present the respondent No.5 is in the enjoyment of Sy.No.63/5A with an extent of Ac.0.965 cents and same is trying to mutate in his name by the Mutation application No.MUT250430001656 and the application was rejected by the Tahsildar for neither enclosing the relevant documents for proving his legal heiress nor the subject land is DKT Land. Hence, the application was rejected by the Tahsildar, Santhipuram. The said lands in Sy.No.63/5A with an extent of Ac.1-93 cents are not mutated in any other persons.” 6. Learned Assistant Government Pleader further submits that the petitioner has been in the possession of the subject land. It is true that the unofficial respondents submitted an application for getting mutation in respect of the land, claiming that they were in possession of the property. But, after conducting an enquiry, the said application was rejected as they are not entitled for such mutation. He further submits that the official respondent neither supporting nor co-operating the unofficial respondents as alleged by the petitioner. Since it is the dispute between the petitioner and unofficial respondents, the official respondents are not trying to support any of the party. 7. Considering the submissions made by both counsel and on perusal of the material on record, this court of the considered view that the writ petition can be disposed of in view of the categorical statement submitted by the 4th respondent before the Court that the claim of the unofficial respondents for mutation was already rejected. Therefore, the allegation of the petitioner is that the official respondents are taking steps for mutation of their names as pattadars, is only an apprehension. Therefore, the grievance of the petitioner was already redressed by way of rejection. The other allegations of the petitioner are also denied by the official respondents, as the official respondents are not interfering with the subject property. 8. Having considering the reasons stated above, it appears that the disputes between the petitioner and the unofficial respondents, is civil in nature, and the same can be resolvedby way of initiating any appropriate proceedings before Court of law. 5 NV,J W.P.15541 OF 2025 9. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs. Consequently, Miscellaneous Petitions, if any, pending in the writ petition shall stand closed. _______________________________________ JUSTICE VENKATESWARLU NIMMAGADDA Date:03.07.2025 LSP 6 NV,J W.P.15541 OF 2025 51 THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE VENKATESWARLU NIMMAGADDA WRIT PETITION NO: 15541/2025 Date:03.07.2025 LSP
