Writ Petition No. 4082/2024 (High Court of Andhra Pradesh at Amaravati, Special Original Jurisdiction; Justice D. Ramesh; decided 24.12.2025): M. Krishnaiah, agriculturist of Bhakarapeta Village, Chinnagottigallu Mandal, Tirupati District, filed a petition under Article 226 seeking a mandamus declaring the action of respondents No. 3 and 4 (Revenue Divisional Officer, Tirupati District and Thasildar, Chinnagottigallu Mandal) in interfering with his rights over Ac. 3.30 cents in Sy.No.329/11/BD of Bhakarapeta Village, and their failure to mutate the revenue records in his favour despite his representation dated 09-05-2023, as arbitrary, illegal and violative of Articles 14, 19 and 300-A of the Constitution, with a consequential direction to mutate the records. An application under Section 151 CPC (IA No. 1 of 2024) sought interim protection against dispossession without due process of law. When the matter was taken up for admission, learned counsel for the petitioner sought leave to withdraw the writ petition with liberty to file a fresh one. Permission was accorded; the writ petition was dismissed as withdrawn with liberty to file a fresh writ petition, without costs, and pending miscellaneous petitions were closed. No substantive adjudication was made on the mutation claim or the constitutional objections.
