This writ petition was filed questioning the action of the 5th respondent directing the petitioner not to enter into the lands in an extent of Ac.0.43 cents in Sy.No.342 situated at Nidigallu village and Ac.0.76 cents in Sy.No.22 at Papireddypalli village of Balayapalli Mandal, Tirupati District by keeping flexes/ caution board, without any notice and without calling explanation from the petitioner and also ignoring the long standing possession. 3. On the other hand, the learned Assistant Government Pleader relying upon the written instructions of the 5th respondent dated 26.02.2026 submits that during the survey, it is noticed that, an extent of Ac.0.43 cents in Sy.No.342 of Nidigallu village, Ac.0.76 cents in Sy.No.22 of Papireddypalli village of Balayapalli Mandal are under the possession and enjoyment of the petitioner. An extent of Ac.0.94 cents in Sy.No.342 of Nidigallu village is classified as Bandi Dari and an extent of Ac.1.81 cents in Sy.No.22 of Papireddypalli village is classified as Gunta Poramboke as per the village records. The writ petitioner tries to encroach the Bandi dari (cart track) and Kunta Poramboke lands and is trying to plough the land raising the paddy plantation. Encroachments made in cart track and kunta poramboke lands are highly objectionable 4 and they are liable to be evicted and the said land is to be protected as it is a government land. Hence, the 5th respondent erected the notice board on the government land only with an intention to protect the government land and safeguard the interest of the government. 4. In view of the above said facts and circumstances, as the subject land is not interfered with by the 5th respondent herein and the government land as detailed above is sought to be protected by erecting the necessary boards by the 5th respondent, no further orders are necessary in this writ petition. It is needless to mention that the respondent authorities concerned shall protect the government land by all means in accordance with law. 5. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. The written instructions of the 5th respondent dated 26.02.2026 shall be made as part of the court record. Interim order, if any, deemed to have been vacated. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel, Miscellaneous Petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed. _________________________ JUSTICE B KRISHNA MOHAN 09.03.2026 NNN
