The petitioner states that the allegations made in the show cause notice are incorrect and without any basis and he has submitted an explanation on 21.04.2005. The grievance of the petitioner is that without considering the said explanation and without passing any final order, the respondent is taking steps to dispossess him from the lands in question highhandedly. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondent, and keeping in view the fact that no final order is yet passed, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondent not to interfere with the possession of the petitioner in respect of the land in question till a final order is passed basing on the show cause notice dated 21.03.2005, and the same is communicated to the petitioner. No costs. ____________ 28.04.2005 sh To 1. The Mandal Revenue Officer, Medchal Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. 2.
