THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.24777 of 2011 ORDER: The action of the third respondent, in seeking to demolish the building belonging to the petitioner without putting him on notice, and without giving him an opportunity of being heard, is questioned in this Writ Petition as arbitrary and illegal. Smt V.Preeti Reddy, Learned Standing Counsel for the third respondent, on instructions, submits that the petitioner had encroached upon certain extent of land belonging to the government; and, when the respondents had asked the petitioner to vacate from the said portion of land under his occupation, the present Writ Petition is filed. She would state that notice would be issued to the petitioner in writing, he would be given an opportunity of being heard and, thereafter, action would be taken in accordance with law. Recording the said submission, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the respondents not to interfere with the petitioner’s possession except after putting him on notice, giving him an opportunity of being heard and, thereafter, taking action in accordance with law. However, in the circumstances, without costs. RAMESH RANGANATHAN,J Date:12.09.2011 usd
