IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) WEDNESDAY, THE ELEVENTH DAY OF JUNE, TWO THOUSAND EIGHT ONLY PRESENT: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.4251 of 2005 Between: V. Sankaraiah & others. … Petitioners AND The Municipal Commissioner, Gudur, Nellore District, & others. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioners : Sri P. Gangarami Reddy Counsel for respondents 2&3 : GP for Revenue This Court made the following: THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.4251 of 2005 ORDER:- At the interlocutory stage, the writ petition is taken up for hearing and disposal with the consent of the learned counsel for the parties. The limited grievance of the petitioners, who are running small bunks on the Southern side of GNT road leading from Gudur to Rapur, is that the respondents have been seeking to dismantle their bunks without following due process of law. No counter-affidavits have been filed by the respondents. Since the claim of the petitioners that they have been running the bunks in question for more than 20 years is not disputed by the respondents, I am of the view that the petitioners cannot be summarily evicted without following due process of law. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents not to interfere with the possession of the petitioners and their right to carry on the petty business without following due process of law. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, WPMP.No.5675 of 2005 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 11.06.2008 ES
