THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE E.V.VENUGOPAL WRIT PETITION No.31561 of 2025

ORDER

This Writ Petition is filed seeking a writ of mandamus declaring the action of respondent Nos. 4 and 5 in attempting to dispossess the petitioner from the land/plot admeasuring 1331 square yards in Sy. No. 388, Kodad Town, falling within Kodad Municipality, Suryapet District (hereinafter referred to as the "subject property"), despite the petitioner having submitted a detailed reply to the notice vide No.B/584/2025 dated 19.09.2025 issued by them, as illegal, arbitrary, and in violation of Articles 14, 19, 21, and 300-A of the Constitution of India; and consequently, to set aside the impugned notice issued by the 4th respondent.

2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner appearing online, and Sri L. Ravinder, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is the absolute owner and possessor of the subject property, having inherited it from his father. He has constructed a small residential house on the subject land. He further submits that when certain third parties interfered with his peaceful possession and enjoyment of the subject property, the petitioner filed a suit in O.S. No. 56 of 2025 before the Principal Junior Civil Judge, Kodad, wherein an interim injunction was granted on 23.06.2025 until further orders. The said suit is presently pending adjudication before the Trial Court.

4. He submits that, acting at the behest of the defendant in the said civil suit, the official respondents attempted to dispossess the petitioner from the subject property, prompting the petitioner to file W.P. No. 14297 of 2025. By order dated 02.05.2025, this Court disposed of the writ petition, directing respondent Nos. 2 to 6 not to interfere with the peaceful possession and enjoyment of the petitioner over the subject property. The Court also observed that if the respondents have any claim over the subject land, they are required to follow due process of law, and that the inter se disputes between the petitioner and the 7^th respondent therein must be adjudicated in the pending civil suit in accordance with law.

5. He further submits that, in pursuance of the said order, the 4th respondent issued the impugned notice vide No.B/584/2025 dated 19.09.2025, to which the petitioner submitted a detailed reply dated 06.10.2025. However, without considering the said reply, respondent Nos. 4 and 5 are threatening to dispossess the petitioner from the subject property without following due process of law. Hence, he seeks the indulgence of this Court to pass appropriate orders.

6. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, upon instructions, submits that the writ petition filed by the petitioner is misconceived, as the respondents are currently examining the reply submitted by the petitioner on 06.10.2025. He submits that after examining the said reply, appropriate action will be taken by issuing notice to the unofficial respondent and all other concerned parties, and by affording them an opportunity of hearing. He further submits that the official respondents have not attempted to dispossess the petitioner from the subject property. Accordingly, he prays for dismissal of the writ petition.

7. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, and after examining the material placed before this Court, since it is stated that the petitioner has submitted a reply dated 06.10.2025 to the notice issued by the 4th respondent, and the same is under examination by the official respondents, this Court deems it appropriate to dismiss the writ petition with a direction to respondent Nos. 2 to 4 to examine the petitioner’s reply, conduct a proper enquiry, issue notice to the unofficial respondent and all interested parties, afford them an opportunity of hearing, and thereafter pass appropriate orders strictly in accordance with law.

8. It is needless to
