IA NO: 1 OF 2019
Petition under Section 151 CPC praying that in the circumstances stated in the affidavit filed in support of the petition, the High Court may be pleased to direct the 4th respondent not to dispossess the petitioner from his land of extent of Ac.0-75 cents in Sy.No.294/12 of Arulla Village, Tadepalligudem Mandal, West Godavari District without following due process of law pending disposal of the main writ petition.
The Court made the following
ORDER:
On 18.10.2019, this Court, after hearing the matter at length, vacated the interim order holding that the subject land is in survey number 294/22 and not in 294/12 of Arulla Village, Tadepalligudem Mandal, West Godavari District and further 1) Talla Pragada Bhaskararao, 2) Kokkirala Peda Bulliyya and 3) Katta Parvatesam are in possession of the land in Survey No.294/12.
2. When the matter was called on 02.03.2026, learned counsel for the petitioners has requested for time. Today, when the matter was called, there was no representation.
3. Since the survey number mentioned in the Writ Petition is 294/12, which is incorrect based on the previous findings, and it appears that the petitioners are not the owners of the said land, coupled with the fact that this Court has already vacated the interim order, granter earlier, on 18.10.2019, this Court feels that there is no necessity for further adjudication in this matter and, accordingly, the Writ Petition is to be dismissed.
4. Accordingly, with the above observation, the Writ Petition stands dismissed. No order as to costs.
Consequently, Miscellaneous Applications pending, if any, shall stand closed.
