RAMA CHANDRA RAO GURRAM 30 RRR, J W.P.No.37624 of 2017 & batch 31 RRR, J W.P.No.37624 of 2017 & batch The Court made the following Common Order: As the issues raised in the present Writ Petitions relate to the same parcel of land and raise a similar question of fact and law, they are being disposed of, by way of this common order. 2. The petitioners, in all these cases, are persons to whom lands had been assigned, by way of DKT pattas in various survey numbers of Inagalur Village, Srikalahasti Mandal, Chittoor District. These assignments were done in and around the year 1999. 3. The petitioners in all these cases, who had been assigned lands, have approached this Court, with the contention that the respondent authorities have forcefully tried to evict the petitioners from these lands in order to hand over the same to Ms. APIIC. The petitioners contend that they are still in possession of these lands and their possession is protected by the Interlocutory Orders passed by this Court. 4. The respondent authorities, in their counter affidavits, submit that the assignment of lands, made to the petitioners herein, was cancelled and the lands were resumed in the years 2010 and 2014 itself. This resumption is said to have been made on the ground that the petitioners had not brought the lands into cultivation within the first three years of assignment and violation of this requirement, entitles the respondent Authorities to resume the lands. 32 RRR, J W.P.No.37624 of 2017 & batch 5. The learned counsels for the petitioners, on the other hand, contend that none of the petitioners have received any kind of notice regarding the alleged resumption of land and that the petitioners continue to remain in possession of the lands and their possession of agricultural activities over their lands is reflected in the revenue records in the form of Adangals and that the R.O.R. Records show that the petitioners continue to be the owners of the land even in the years 2017-18 as well as 2020-21 in some cases. 6. The learned counsels for the petitioners herein have also produced the said revenue records to show that the authorities continue to recognize the petitioners herein as owners of the land which had been assigned to them. 7. The counter affidavits filed by the respondent authorities’ state that notices had been issued to the petitioners calling upon them to show- cause why the lands should not be resumed on the ground of non-cultivation of the lands within the first three years of resumption and that the petitioners did not offer any explanation after receipt of these notices. The respondent authorities also state that the orders were served on the petitioners by affixture of the same on the land of the petitioners. 8. The learned counsels for the petitioners have drawn the attention of this Court to some of the copies of the notices which have been filed along with the counter affidavits. The copies of the notices in W.P.No.1326 of 2021 can be taken up as one such example. A perusal of these notices would show 33 RRR, J W.P.No.37624 of 2017 & batch that the notice is on one sheet and the acknowledgment of these notices is on a blank sheet, which is attached to this notice. The petitioner, in W.P.No.1326 of 2021, contends that she had been approached, in the year 2019, with the offer of acquisition of the land and payment of compensation. At that stage, her signature was taken on a blank sheet and the same is now pressed into service to claim that she has acknowledged the receipt of this notice in the year 2010. 9. The manner in which the signature is affixed on a blank sheet and the said blank sheet is attached to the notice raises any amount of doubt as to the credibility of the claim of the respondent authorities that such notices had been served on the petitioners in the year 2010. Further, the respondents having taken the stand that notices had been served personally on the petitioners, have been silent as to why the order copies were not served personally on the petitioners and were affixed to the lands. Though such affixture is one of the modes of service of notice, under the Rules, any such affixture would have to be done only after normal service of notice is attempted as such affixtures can never be demonstrated nor can such affixtures be accepted unless notices could not be served personally on the affected persons. 10. For all the aforesaid reasons, this Court is not willing to accept the contentions of the respondent authorities, that notices had been served on 34 RRR, J W.P.No.37624 of 2017 & batch the petitioners prior to passing of orders of resumption, nor the contention that the orders were also served on the petitioners. 11. Apart from this, the ground on which the resumption is said to have been done is the non-cultivation of the lands within the first three years of assignment. In a similar situation, a learned Single Judge of this Court in the case of Y.C. Venkata Subbamma vs. State of Andhra Pradesh (neutral citation 2021:APHC:16895) had held, following the earlier Judgment of the erstwhile High Court of Andhra Pradesh in the case of B. Mani vs. Government of Andhra Pradesh, rep. by District Collector, Chittoor District and others1 and G. Munilakshmamma vs. The District Collector, Chittoor District2, that such cancellation after the initial period of three years is over and after considerable period of time has elapsed cannot be done on the mere ground of non-cultivation of lands for the first three years after assignment of the lands. Following the same Judgments, this Court would also hold that the DKT pattas, granted to the petitioners, cannot be cancelled on this ground. 12. For all the aforesaid reasons, it must be held that the cancellation of pattas granted to the petitioners and the resumption of their lands is in violation of law and as such, the said orders are set aside. 13. The learned Assistant Government Pleader would submit that an extent of Ac.400.00 of land had been acquired and the said lands have been 1 2011 (1) ALT 334 2 1999 (1) ALT 617 35 RRR, J W.P.No.37624 of 2017 & batch handed over to an Industrial unit. However, the said Industrial Unit is also facing difficulty on account of the Interlocutory Orders passed earlier by this Court and on the question of possession of the land. The learned Assistant Government Pleader would submit that the Authorities would take steps to resume the lands, in accordance with law. In view of the aforesaid submission, it would be open to the Government to resume the said lands. However, such resumption would also require the Government to pay compensation in accordance with the Judgment of the High Court of Andhra Pradesh in the case of LAO-cum-Revenue Divisional Officer v. Mekala Pandu and others3 . 14. Accordingly, these Writ Petitions are disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel, pending miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall stand closed. ________________________ R.
