The Court made the following order: The present writ petition is filed questioning the inaction of the 4*'' respondent in considering the representation dated 27.10.2021, seeking to restore the possession over lands situated in Sy.Nos.133/1 to 133/6, admeasuring to an extent of Ac.0.49 cents, 0.51 cents, 0.58 cents, 0.46 cents, 0.46 cents and 0.46 cents in Adivi Village, Bapatia Mandal, by evicting the respondent Nos.5 to 8 from the subject lands. 2. It is the case of the petitioners that they were granted DKT pattas on 24.07.1986, in respect of the subject lands.
It further contended that they have been in peaceful possession and enjoyment of the said lands since the date of grant. It is further case of the petitioners that, the respondent Nos.5 to 8, in collusion with 4*^ respondent, who supported them to dig fish ponds in the lands assigned to the petitioners. Having come to know about the said fact, the petitioners made a representation to the 2^^^^ respondent. In pursuance of the said representation, the 2"^^ respondent issued endorsement dated 15.11.2008, directing the authorities concerned to take necessary action in the matter. 3
3. It is further contended by the petitioners that they filed suit in OS.No. 115 of 2011, on the file of the Senior Civil Judge Bapatia, seeking declaration of title and restoration of possession against unofficial respondent Nos.5 to 8, and the same is pending adjudication. 4. Perused the record. It is clear that there is no allegation made against the official respondents that they are trying to interfere with the
5. possession of the petitioners in any manner and it is clear case of the petitioners that, the unofficiaP respondent Nos.5 to 8, who forcibly occupied the petitioners land during the year 2008, thereby, the petitioners filed civil suit in OS.No.115 of 2011, on the file of the Senior Civil Judge, Bapatia, seeking to declare them as owners of the subject lands and for recovery of possession. On perusal of the record, it is clear that, the petitioners having approached the civil court for declaration of title and
6. recovery of possession against respondent Nos.5 to 8, cannot maintain the present writ petition. Further, on a reading of the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition it is succinctly clear
r that, nothing is placed on record to show that, the respondent Nos.1 to 4 tried to interfere with the possession of the petitioners. Further, it is also clear that, the petitioners are not in possession of the subject lands since 2011 and the same is evident on perusal of the averments made in the affidavit. Further, nothing is attributed against the official respondents except stating that, the then Tahsildar colluded with unofficial respondent Nos.5 to 8 and supported them to dig fish ponds.
This Court cannot entertain the present writ petition especially based on a passing remark made by the petitioners in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition. 7. In view of the above observations, there are no merits in the writ petition, accordingly, the same is dismissed. However, it is open to the petitioners to agitate their rights against the respondent Nos.5 to 8 in pending suit. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel, pending applications, if any, shall stand closed. SD/- N. NAGAMMA ASSISTANT REGISTRAR ^ t //TRUE COPY// SECTION OFFICER To,
