PETITIONER AND THE SECRETARY, GRAM PANCHAYAT, LAKSHMIPURAM, CHALLAPALLI MANDAL, KRISHNA DISTRICT .. RESPONDENT THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR WRIT PETITION No.156 OF 2011 ORDER: The petitioner in this writ petition says that he is in occupation of 48 square yards of land within the limits of Laxmipuram Village Gram Panchayat, Challapalli Mandal, Krishna District. The grievance of the petitioner is that the respondent-Gram Panchayat’s Secretary issued a notice dated 18.12.2010 informing him that the land belongs to the said Gram Panchayat and calling upon him to vacate the land. The plea of the petitioner is that the Gram Panchayat authorities are acting in a highhanded manner and are trying to evict him without following the due procedure under law. The petitioner is however unable to show any right vested in him to remain in occupation of the land. Even if the petitioner sets up a right that may be in denial of title of the Gram Panchayat and that amounts to a disputed question of fact which cannot be gone into by this court in this writ petition. In the circumstances, however, having regard to the plea of the petitioner that he is in possession of 48 square yards in question since long time and is running a hotel there the respondent-Gram Panchayat authorities shall not take any steps to dispossess the petitioner for a period of one month. In the meanwhile, it shall be open for the petitioner to workout his remedies either in a competent civil court or before the authorities under the Andhra Pradesh Panchayat Raj Act, 1994 to establish his claim to the land in question. With this observation, this writ petition is dismissed. DT:12-01-2011. ( N.RAVI SHANKAR, J ) Cc tomorrow. Tnb THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR WRIT PETITION No.156 OF 2011 Dt: 12-01-2011.
