THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.15829 OF 2011 ORDER: The show-cause notice issued by the second respondent dated 29.03.2011, under Section 7 of the Andhra Pradesh Land Encroachment Act, 1905 (for short, ‘the Act’), is under challenge in this Writ Petition as being arbitrary and illegal. The primary contention urged by Sri Vijay Kumar Heroor, Learned Counsel for the petitioner, is that, in case there is a genuine dispute regarding title over the land in question, the provisions of the Act cannot be resorted to; and the remedy, if any, is to seek eviction by way of a Suit before the Civil Court of competent jurisdiction. The proceedings under challenge in this Writ Petition is a show- cause notice. The petitioner had submitted its reply thereto. This Court, by order dated 10.06.2011, directed the respondents not to resort to any high handed action of eviction or demolition of the premises pending further orders. As the petitioner had filed its reply, to the show-cause notice issued by the second respondent, I consider it wholly inappropriate to examine the contentions, now urged by the Learned Counsel on merits. Since the petitioner has elected to submit its reply to the show-cause notice, I consider it appropriate to direct the respondents not to take any action for eviction or demolition till final orders are passed on the show-cause notice, and the said order is communicated to the petitioner. It is made clear that, in case any adverse orders are passed against the petitioner, it is always open to them to agitate their grievance in appropriate proceedings. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, disposed of. However, in the circumstances, without costs. _____________________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J August 23, 2011 MD THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.15829 OF 2011 August 23, 2011 MD
