Therefore, he filed the present Writ Petition seeking a Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in trying to evict him, as illegal and arbitrary. At the admission stage itself, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (General) obtained instructions. He submits that after following due process of law, a notice under Section 7 of the Andhra Pradesh Land Encroachment Act, 1905 (“the Act”, for brevity) was issued, and subsequently, an order under Section 6 of the Act was passed for eviction of the petitioner. Therefore, the petitioner may approach the Mandal Revenue Officer and obtain a copy of the order/proceedings issued under the Act and file an appeal before the third respondent. As the writ petition is filed without challenging the order passed under the Act, no interference is called for in this writ petition. The Writ Petition, with the above observation, is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 18.08.2006 GJ
