HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE B. VIJAYSEN REDDY WRIT PETITION No.32910 OF 2025 ORDER : (ORAL)

This writ petition is filed by the petitioner seeking to declare the action of respondents No.3 and 4, in interfering with his possession over the land admeasuring Acs.2-00 guntas in Survey No.257, situated Inumamula Village, Hanumakonda Mandal, Warangal District, as being illegal, arbitrary and unconstitutional.

2. Heard Mr. Sunkari Vamshi Krishna, learned counsel for the petitioner; Mr. Pasham Mohith, learned Standing Counsel for GWMC (Greater Warangal Municipal Corporation), appearing for respondents No.2 to 4; and perused the material on record.

3. The petitioner claims to be the owner of the land admeasuring Acs.2-00 guntas in Survey No.257, situated Inumamula Village, Hanumakonda Mandal, Warangal District, having purchased the same from its previous owner under registered sale deed dated 11.02.2000. It is stated that the petitioner instituted a suit in O.S. No.915 of 2019 on the file of the learned I Additional Senior Civil Judge, Warangal and W.P. No.1089 of 2020 on the file of the learned Senior Civil Judge, Warangal against third parties who are trying to interfere with his possession. It is further stated that as there was interference by the Police with the possession of the petitioner in respect of the subject property, W.P. No.31260 of 2023 was filed before this Court and the same was disposed of by the order dated 10.11.2023 directing the respondent Police not to interfere with the possession of the petitioner in respect of the subject property. While so, at the instance of the third parties, respondents No.3 and 4 visited the subject property on 27.10.2025 and directed the petitioner to vacate the subject property. As there is interference by the respondents No.3 and 4 with the possession of the petitioner in respect of the subject property, he is constrained to approach this Court.

4. Learned Standing Counsel for GWMC submitted that there is no interference by the respondent authorities with the possession of the petitioner in respect of the subject property as alleged by him in the writ affidavit. On inspection done by the respondent authorities, it was found that structures existing in the subject property claimed by the petitioner are in possession of the private parties against whom the above suits were filed and they are necessary parties to this lis.

5. However, without expressing any opinion on merits, recording the submission made by the learned Standing Counsel for GWMC that there is no interference by the respondent authorities with the possession of the petitioner in respect of the subject property, this writ petition is disposed of directing respondents No.2 to 4 not to interfere with the possession of the petitioner in respect of the land admeasuring Acs.2-00 guntas in Survey No.257, situated Inumamula Village, Hanumakonda Mandal, Warangal District, without following due process of law. This order, however, shall not have any bearing on the disputes regarding title and possession between the petitioner and third parties in respect of the subject property. There shall be no order as to costs.

As a sequel thereto, miscellaneous applications, if any, pending in this writ petition, stand closed.
