This writ petition is filed, seeking writ of Mandamus, to declare theaction of the respondents in taking steps to evict the petitioners fromthe land admeasuring Ac.2-00 cents in Sy.No.387 of KondrupaduVillage, Penuballi Mandal, Khammam District, as illegal and arbitrary.
As stated in the affidavit, filed in support of the writ petition, it is thecase of the petitioners that they are in possession of the land inquestion from the last several years, and are cultivating the said landand the income from the said land is the only source of theirlivelihood.
The present writ petition is filed on the apprehension that stepsare being taken to evict the petitioner without initiating anyproceedings for eviction so as to assign the same to the third parties.
