2. Heard both sides. Perused the record.
3. The petitioner is claiming to be owner and possessor of House bearing Municipal No.6-1-28, Plot No.28/P (Northern Part), admeasuring 73 Square Yards in Survey Nos.22 (part), 23 to 26 situated at M.G.S.Royal Colony, Neknampur Village & Gram Panchayat, Gandipet Mandal, Ranga Reddy District.

4. The learned counsel for the petitioner would contend that the subject plot of the petitioner is situated in patta land as indicated in the registered sale deed, which is not a part and parcel of land in Sy.Nos.44/1 and 44/2 of Neknampur Village, Gandipet Mandal, Ranga Reddy District.
5. On the other hand, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue would submit that a letter is addressed to the concerned Revenue Divisional Officer for conducting survey of the land by Deputy Inspector of Survey. That letter is pending with the said Revenue Divisional Officer. After conducting survey and demarcating the land in Sy.Nos.44/1 and 44/2 situated at Neknampur Village, Gandipet Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, then only appropriate action would be taken against the petitioner, in accordance with law.
6. Under these circumstances, since the revenue authorities are contemplating to take action in accordance with law and right now, there is no interference or threat of dispossession by the revenue authorities, no orders need be passed in this writ petition as prayed for.
7. With the above observation, the writ petition is disposed of. It is made clear that this order will not preclude the revenue authorities to take action against the petitioner, in accordance with law.
Miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed. There shall be no order as to costs.
