GP FOR ENDOWMENTS 3 THE HONOURABLE SMT JUSTICE KIRANMAYEE MANDAVA WRIT PETITION NO: 28773 OF 2025 The Court made the following order: Heard Sri K.Jyothi Prasad, learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Endowments appearing for the respondent No.1 and Smt. Pulipati Radhika, learned Standing Counsel appearing for respondent No.2. 2. The grievance of the petitioner is that the 2nd respondent-Temple is interfering with the possession and enjoyment of the subject property situated over an extent of 399.5 Sq. Yards in Sy.No.398/A-1 and 2 of Jangareddigudem village, Jangareddigudem Mandal, Eluru District. 3. It is contended that the petitioner purchased the subject property vide registered sale deed dated 17.11.2001 and the vendor of the petitioner in turn had acquired the same under a registered sale deed dated 30.09.1999. 4. Today, when the matter is taken up for consideration, Smt. Pulipati Radhika, learned Standing Counsel appearing for respondent No.2 has placed before the Court a copy of the written instructions received from the 2nd respondent. A perusal of the same would reflect that the land belonging to the temple is located 1 km away from the subject land. The temple lands are located in Sy.Nos.303/1 and 303/2. The subject land of the petitioner is classified in the revenue records as “Donka” and is situated in a different survey number. Thus, learned Standing Counsel argues that the petitioner’s land and the temple lands have different survey numbers, therefore, the 4 grievance of the petitioner against the 2nd respondent is unfounded and misconceived. 5. In the light of the above submissions made on behalf on behalf of the 2nd respondent-Temple, the Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel, all pending miscellaneous applications shall stand closed. _______________________________ JUSTICE KIRANMAYEE MANDAVA Date: 17.10.2025 Note: CC by 24.10.2025 B/o.
