Case brief
What is this about?
Telangana High Court, single judge (N.V. Shravan Kumar J.), WP No.3164 of 2015, decided 02.04.2025 — writ of mandamus refused; writ petition dismissed on maintainability. Keywords: Article 226 jurisdiction, disputed questions of fact, alternative remedy Civil Court, dispossession without notice, compound wall construction, revenue officials RDO Narayanapet and Tahsildar Makthal, private party dispute (respondent No.4 Suwanna), left-over house plots Sy.No.265/AA and 266/AA2, Makthal Mandal Mahaboobnagar, sale deed No.1488/1987 dated 24.08.1987, no costs. No precedents cited or discussed.
What did the court decide?
The disputes between the petitioner and respondent No.4 involve disputed questions of fact which cannot be decided by the High Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India; the petitioner, instead of approaching the Civil Court, approached this Court by way of the writ petition, which is therefore not maintainable and liable to be dismissed.
