The Court made the following Order:
Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for the respondents. 2. This writ petition is filed questioning the action of the respondent Nos.3 to 5 in interfering with the peaceful possession and enjoyment of the petitioner’s property in Sy.No.443/2 in an extent of Ac.2.00 cents situated in Guduru Village and Mandal, Krishna District. 3.
On the other hand, the learned Assistant Government Pleader relying upon the written instructions of the 4th respondent dated 23.03.2026 submits that the petitioner is stated to have obtained pattadar passbook and title deed have to be verified from the revenue records. The petitioner is stated to have paid water tax in respect of the subject land. The petitioner claimed to be in possession and cultivation of the land in R.S.No.443/2 and at that stage, the Village Revenue Officer, Guduru and Mandal Revenue Inspector, Guduru have rightly intervened and prevented such activity. 4. The land in R.S.No.443/3 is a government land alienated in favour of the Krishna University and the 2nd respondent already handed over the advance possession of the said land to the Krishna University vide Rc.No.E1/1086/2008, dated 11.05.2010. Therefore, the action of the revenue authorities in entering the land in R.S.No.443/3 and preventing the petitioner from making an illegal lay out is lawful and
4
justified. The petitioner is attempting to mislead the Hon’ble Court by projecting the issue as interference in his patta land in R.S.No.443/2, whereas the actual illegal interference is by the petitioner with respect to the government land in R.S.No.443/3 and there is no interference whatsoever by the revenue authorities with the petitioner’s alleged possession in R.S.No.443/2. 5. In view of the above said facts and circumstances, recording the said instructions of the 4th respondent dated 23.03.2026, as there is no interference by the revenue authorities concerned as alleged by the petitioner with respect to the subject land in an extent of Ac.2.00 cents in Sy.No.443/2 of Guduru Village and Mandal, Krishna District, no further orders are necessary in this writ petition. 6. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. The written instructions of the 4th respondent dated 23.03.2026 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.
