While so, respondents 3 to 5 are interfering with the petitioner’s possession and enjoyment of the subject house, without following due process of law. 3. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue submitted the instructions of Tahsildar, wherein it was stated that the petitioner has two dwelling houses i.e. RCC buildings bearing door Nos.8-6/3 and 8-106/B, in survey No.293 of Thukivakam village, which is classified as ‘Gramakantam’.

It is stated that land to an extent of Ac.1-36 cents in survey No.929 (926 as per the notice) is classified as ‘Government Poramboke’ and registered as ‘Kaluva’.

Further, a notice under Section 7 of the Act, was issued to the petitioner in respect of the shed raised p. 5 SRS,J W.P.No.2603 of 2026 in an extent of Ac.1-36 of land in survey No.929 (926 as per the notice). Since the respondent authorities are not interfering with the petitioner’s possession of the subject houses, keeping this writ petition pending, will not serve any purpose. 7. Given the above, this writ petition is disposed of at the admission stage with the consent of learned counsel on either side, directing respondents 3 to 5 not interfere with the petitioner’s possession over door Nos. 8-6/3 and 8- 106/B, survey No.293 of Thukivakam village, Renigunta Mandal, Tirupati District, without following due process of law.
