HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY W.P.No.30935 of 2010 Date : 10-12-2010 Between : Kantipudi Aademma .. Petitioner and District Collector, East Godavari District .. Respondents and others Counsel for petitioners : Sri T.V.S. Prabhakar Rao Counsel for respondent No.1 : Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue Counsel for respondent Nos.2 : Sri Shafat Ahmed Khan, Standing counsel for Wakf Board The Court made the following : ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed for a mandamus declaring the action of respondent No.1 in issuing orders dated 22-10-2010 issued by respondent No.1 as illegal and arbitrary. I have heard Sri T.V.S. Prabhakar Rao, learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue for respondent No.1 and Sri Shafat Ahmed Khan, Standing counsel for Wakf Board representing respondent No.2. From a perusal of the impugned order it is evident that prior notice was not issued to the petitioner before passing the said orders. The impugned order therefore suffers from not only violation of principles of natural justice but also the procedure prescribed under Section 52(2) of Wakf Act 1995. Therefore, the impugned order cannot be sustained. The parties are directed to treat the impugned order as notice and the petitioner is permitted to submit her explanation to the same within four weeks from today. On receipt of the explanation along with material, if any filed by the petitioner, respondent No.1 shall consider the same, pass appropriate orders and communicate the same to the petitioner. Till the passing of such final orders and communication of the same to the petitioner, she shall not be dispossessed from the lands in question. Subject to the above directions, the Writ Petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP No.39346/2010 is disposed of as infructuous. ____________________ C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy.,J Date : 10-12-2010 AM
