Temple. With the consent of respective counsel, the matter is being disposed of at the stage of admission. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioners while reiterating the averments made in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition, submits that the petitioners are the owners and possessors of the land admeasuring an extent of Ac.1.93 cents situated in Sy.No.799 at Nekunampet Revenue Village, Kondapur Mandal, SPSR Nellore District. He submits that the petitioners acquired the lands through unregistered settlement deed dated 25.02.2002 and registered sale deed dated 01.09.2023 and the revenue authorities had also issued pattadar passbooks (Ex.P.1), Form 1-B (Ex.P.2), Adangal Pahani (Ex.P.3), etc in their favour and ever since their possession, the petitioners are regularly paying electricity bills.

The learned counsel submits that the petitioner having left with no other remedy, approached this Court by way of this writ petition seeking appropriate directions. 4. On the other hand, the learned Standing Counsel for the 4th respondent Temple and learned Assistant Government Pleader for Endowments submit that consequent to the survey conducted by the 5th respondent Tahsildar, Kondapur Mandal on 06.10.20125, the petitioners have instituted the present writ petition on a mere apprehension, without any legal basis.
He fairly submits that if at all the 4th respondent Temple intends to take any action against the petitioners,

they would follow the due process of Law, including the principles of natural justice. 5. In view of the submissions made by the learned counsel for the 4th respondent Temple as well as the learned Assistant Government Pleader, this Court without going into the merits of the case, deems it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition, providing that, no coercive action shall be taken against the petitioners in respect of the subject property, without following due process of law. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel, all pending applications shall stand closed. _______________________________ JUSTICE MAHESWARA RAO KUNCHEAM Date: 13.10.2025 Note: Issue C.C in 2 days B/o. GVK
