Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue for the respondents. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are absolute owners and possessors of the subject land having acquired the same through various registered sale deeds as (annexed with writ petition) and they are in possession and enjoyment of the subject land without any interference by anybody. While so, to the utter shock of the petitioners, on the application filed by the 5th respondent, the 4th respondent served the notice, dated 5 02.01.2025 to the petitioners directing them to attend the enquiry scheduled to be conducted on 25.01.2025 at 12.10 AM. The officers of the 4th respondent served the notice on the next day of the meeting and obtained the signatures of the petitioners on a white paper. The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that under the guise of the enquiry, the respondents are trying to evict the petitioners from the subject land without following due process of law. Hence, the learned counsel for the petitioners requests this Court to set aside the notice issued by the 4th respondent, dated 02.01.2025 to the petitioners. 4. On the other hand, learned Assistant Government Pleader for revenue appearing for the respondents furnished written instructions issued by the 4th respondent dated 30.06.2025, wherein it is stated as follows: “… It is further submitted that, as the unofficial respondent filed multiple PGRS files, a notice was issued and further filed inspection was conducted and as the unofficial respondent has not submitted any documentary evidence to prove his title/possession over the said lands and also as the unofficial respondent was not in possession of the said lands, an endorsement has been issued to the unofficial respondent that as he has no documentary evidence to prove his title over the land, it is not possible to issue pattadar passbooks in favour of him and further directed him to approach Hon’ble Civil Court. 6 In view of the above circumstances, it is submitted that, due procedure was followed on redressing the PGRS application filed by the unofficial respondent and further the petitioners were not dispossessed from the lands in Sy.No.4/1 etc of Gummaladoddi village of Gokavaram mandal and further submitted that, in the event of any additional claims over the said lands, due procedure will be followed in the future also..” 5. On perusal of the written instructions submitted by the 4th respondent, dated 30.06.2025, it is categorically stated that the claim of the 5th respondent was rejected by way of an endorsement holding that the 5th respondent is not entitled for any relief in respect of the subject land as he has no documentary evidence to prove his title. In view of the same, the impugned notice issued by the 4th respondent, dated 02.01.2025 become void. 6. Therefore, by recording the said instructions, the respondents are directed not to interfere with the peaceful possession and enjoyment of the subject property of the petitioners, except by following due process of law. 7. With the above directions, the Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. 7 As a sequel miscellaneous application, pending, if any, shall also stand closed. ________________________________ VENKATESWARLU NIMMAGADDA, J 01.07.2025 TTM M 8 208 HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VENKATESWARLU NIMMAGADDA WRIT PETITION NO: 15746/2025 01.07.2025 TTM M
