2. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue, on the written instructions from the 3rd respondent – Tahsildar, Sabbavaram, submitted that the genuineness of the alleged certificates of allotment of house sites granted to the petitioners will be examined with reference to the records available in their office.
3. He further submitted that, if the land is found to be government property or if the certificates are found to be invalid, further action will be taken by following due process of law as prescribed under the Andhra Pradesh Land Encroachment Act, 1905.
4. In view of this submission, without going into other aspects, this Court finds it appropriate to dispose of the Writ Petition by making the interim order, dated 12.03.2019, absolute.

6. Accordingly, with the above observation, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs.
Consequently, Miscellaneous Applications pending, if any, shall stand closed.
