BHASKAR REDDY WRIT PETITION No.12774 of 2o25 ORDER: This u'rit petition is filed seeking to declare the zrction of the respondents in not considering the representation of the petitioner dated 2 I .0 1.2O25, as illegal, arbitrary and for other appropriate reliefs

2. Considcred the submissions of the learned counsei for the respective parties and with their consent this writ petition IS disposed of at the admission stage.

3. [t is sta[ed that the petitioner is the absolute owner and possessor of the property bearing Door No.2-132131F/l to 21132/3lFl7, consisting of 629 sq. yards, in Sy.No.3 (old) and 3 15/ I (nerr,), situated at Chandanagar Village, Serilingampally Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. lt is iurther stated that when disputes arose with regard to title and possession of the subject property, a suit uide O.S.No.932 of 2OO2 has been filed by one Sohan La[ S/o. Ananta Ram, on the file of the Principal District Judge, L.B. Nagar, seeking perpetual injunction and a writ petition uide W.P.No.37929 of 2022 Lras been filed by the petitioner on the file of this Court and the same are pending \ 2 CVBR, J wp-t2774_2025 adjudication. The case o[ the petitioner is thaL he has Iiled a representation on the file of the revenue authorities dated 21.O1.2025, requesting to delete and rectify the unauthorized and illegal entries that have been made in the revenue records; to suspend further transfer of subject lands till the hnal disposal o[ his complaint; to investigate the fraudulent transactions and revoke any registrations made without a legal basis or consent; to take strict action against individuals and officials complicit in these fraudulent activities and to prevent further encroachinents and ensure restoration of his undisputed ownership. However, the respondents have not initiated any action, till date. Hence, the present writ petition.

4. A careful examination of the facts would reveal that there are serious disputes over the subject property regarding title and possession. It is well settled law that when there are inter se disputes among the parties, the writ petition is not the appropriate remedy to resolve the disputes relating to right, titte, and possession of the property. The questions as to who is the rightful owner of the land in question; who is in possession of the subject property, and if so, since when, how, and under what circumstances they claim to be in possession; whether such CVBR, J w 1277 4 _2025 possesslon can be regarded as regal vis-d_vis the true owner, etc., are material questions that arose for consideration in this writ petition. In mv view, these are pure questions of fact, which can only be appropriately addressed by a civil court in a properly instituted civil suit, based on the evidence adduced by the parties, and not in a writ petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. It has been consistently hetd by this Court and the Hon'ble Supreme court that a regular civil suit is the proper remedy lor the adjudication of disputes relating to property righ r s.

5. For thc aforesaid reasons, this Court is not inclined to grant any relief and accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. It is needless to observe that if the petitioner is having any.claim, he rs at liberty to agitate his grrevance in the pending suit in accordance with law. As a sequel thereto, miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending shall stancl closed No order as to costs To \ //TRUE COPYII S D/. T.TIRUMALA DEVI DEPUW REGISTRAR / sE-cnoru oFFtcER /
