ORDER:
This writ petition is filed seeking a Writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in trying to take away thepossession of the petitioner’s land to an extent of Ac.0-18 guntas inSy.No.573 (old), 581/2 (New) situated at Waddepalli, Warangal,without following due process of law, as illegal, arbitrary andcontrary to the provisions of the Hyderabad Municipal CorporationAct and consequently sought for a direction to the respondents tofollow due process of law if the petitioner’s land is required for apublic purpose.
The grievance of the petitioner is that the respondents,without issuing any notice and without following due process of law,are trying to dispossess the petitioner from the land in question forthe purpose of road widening.
Heard both sides.
When once it is the case of the petitioner that he is theabsolute owner and possessor of the land in question, in myconsidered view, the respondents shall not interfere with hispossession and enjoyment of the land in question. Even if the samerequired for any public purpose, such as widening of roads etc., thesame shall be done only in accordance with law.
In the aforesaid circumstances, the writ petition is disposedof directing the respondents not to dispossess the petitioner fromthe land in question without following due process of law. No costs.
