Panchayat Raj appearing for respondent Nos.1 to 3; Sri K.Pradeep

Reddy, learned Standing Counsel appearing for respondent Nos.4

to 6 and Sri Sandeep Goud, learned Assistant Government Pleader

for Revenue appearing for respondent No.7 and with their consent,

this writ petition is being taken up for disposal at the admission

stage.

3. Learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the

petitioner and respondent No.8 are sons of late Rajaiah. The father

of the petitioner has got his share i.e., old house to an extent of 60

square yards bearing H.No.1-3-40/B, Assessment TPIN

Sankarampet Revenue Village and Mandal, Medak District. After

the death of the petitioner’s father, disputes arose between the legal

heirs of late Rajaiah. Respondent No.8 has filed a suit for

permanent injunction against the petitioner and others vide

O.S.No.351 of 2025 and the said Court has granted ad interim

injunction in I.A.No.870 of 2025, dated 18.12.2025, restraining the

petitioner and others from interfering with the peaceful possession

and enjoyment of respondent No.8 herein over the subject property.

The petitioner has filed a petition to vacate the said injunction order

vide C.F.R.No.46 of 2026. During pendency of the said suit, taking

advantage of the injunction order, respondent No.8 has been

making attempts to change the nature of the house property by

raising construction. Therefore, the petitioner has made a detailed

representation, dated 19.01.2026 to the respondent authorities.

The grievance of the petitioner is that, even after receipt of the said

representation, respondent authorities did not take any action.

Therefore, learned counsel for the petitioner prays this Court to

pass appropriate orders.

4. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue would

submit that the enquiry has already been initiated on the

representation made by the petitioner and appropriate action would

be taken during the course of time by following due process of law.

Stating so, learned Assistant Government Pleader also seeks to

pass appropriate orders.

5. In view of the above submissions and since the enquiry has

already been initiated on the complaint/representation made by

the petitioner and notices have also been issued to the concerned,

this Court, without making any observations on the merits and

demerits of the case, deems it appropriate to dispose of this writ

petition directing respondent No.3 to complete the enquiry by duly

affording an opportunity of personal hearing to all the concerned

including respondent No.8 and pass appropriate orders strictly in
