This Writ Petition, under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, is filed seeking the following relief:

“….to issue a writ, order or direction more particularly one in the nature of Writ of Mandamus declaring aggrieved by the action of the respondent No.2 to 4 in interfering into peaceful possession and enjoyment of petitioner land in Sy.No.140 admeasuring to an extent of Ac.0.10 gts, surrounded by North: Open Land of Sy.No.211, South: Land of G. Swarupa, East: Land of G.Swarupa, West: Land of Jangapally Swamy, Situated at Kannala Laxmipur Village, Bellampalli Mandal, Mancherial District respectively without issuing any Notice to the petitioner herein or without following due process of law as illegal, arbitrary, in violation of Principles of Natural Justice and in violation of Articles 300-A of the Constitution of India, consequently direct the respondents No. 2 to 4 not to interfere into the peaceful possession and enjoyment of the petitioner subject land…”

2. Heard Sri Rudresh Deshpande, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and Sri L.Ravinder, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, for respondent Nos.1 to 4 and perused the record.

3. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner would submit that originally the father of the petitioner was the original assignee of the land to an extent of Ac.0.10 guntas in Sy.No.140, situated at Kannala Laxmipur Village, Bellampalli Mandal, Mancherial District. After the demise of his father, the petitioner became the successor and legal heir of the subject property. The government issued pattedar passbook, 1-B ROR stating that the subject property is not a government property. The revenue authorities also mutated the name of the petitioner in the revenue records and also issued pattedar passbook and title deed in the name of the petitioner vide Khata No.485. Since then, the petitioner is in peaceful possession and enjoyment of the subject property and eking her livelihood by doing cultivation.

4. Later on, the petitioner applied for issuance of e- pattedar passbooks under Bhu Bharati Portal but, respondent No.3 has not issued the pattedar passbook stating that there is no module in Bhu Bharati Portal for issuance of pattedar passbooks which are lavani/government lands. While the things stood, in the last week of October, 2025 the officials of respondent Nos.2 to 4 high handedly are trying to dispossess the petitioner from the subject property. Aggrieved by the said action, the petitioner preferred the present writ petition.

5. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue would submit that the writ petition filed by the petitioner is misconceived and it is filed only on assumptions and presumptions. The respondent-authorities will follow due process of law before initiating any action on the subject property.

6. In the light of the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case and without expressing any opinion on the merits and demerits of the case, this Court deems it appropriate to disposed of the writ petition directing the respondent- authorities to follow due process as contemplated under law before initiating action on the subject property.

7. Accordingly, with the above directions this writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs.

Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this writ petition shall stand closed.
