1. V V N NARAYANA RAO Counsel for the Respondent(S):
1. GP FOR REVENUE (AP) The Court made the following:
ORDER:-
1. The petitioners claim that their father Sri Venkata Subaiah was assigned land admeasuring an extent of Ac.2.00 cents in Sy.No.513/2 of Valluru Village, Tanguturu Mandal, Prakasam District, during the year 1975.
2. It is their further case that the property was in absolute possession and enjoyment of their father since the date of grant. Thereafter, the father of the petitioner was expired and the names of the petitioners were entered in revenue records by duly issuing the pattadar pass books and title deeds in their favour. It is further case of the petitioner that on 12.02.2020, the 3rd respondent along with staff orally informed them to vacate from the subject lands inasmuch as the same is required for distribution of house site pattas under “Navaratnalu Pedalaku Illu” scheme. In fact on 15.02.2020, the 3rd respondent once again visited the subject lands and tried to remove the crop with the help of JCB. The said action of the 3rd respondent was prevented and there after the petitioners made a representation dated 17.07.2020 to the 3rd respondent by producing all the documents in respect of their claim and requested not to evict the petitioners, despite the same the 3rd respondent continued to interfere with
the possession of the petitioners and having left with no other option, the petitioners approached this Court by filing the instant writ petition.
3. On the other hand, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue placed instructions dated 17.02.2025, furnished by the 3rd respondent. On perusal of the said instructions it is stated that land admeasuring an extent of Ac.3.45 cents in Sy.No.513 is classified as vaguporamboke as per FLR of the village and the same is notified under prohibitory properties list issued under Section 22-A(1)(b) of Registration Act,
1908. On further perusal of the instructions, it is clear that the respondents have not taken any action against the petitioners so far.
4. The instructions further read that the said land was not proposed for issuance of house sites under “Navaratnalu Pedalaku Illu” scheme. Taking into consideration of the
submissions made by both the counsel, this Court feels that, it is appropriate to dispose of the writ petition that the respondents shall not interfere with the possession of the petitioners except in accordance with law.
5. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed. No order as to costs. As a sequel, pending applications, if any, shall stand closed.
