THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.3123 of 2007 ORDER: The petitioner is a resident of Chirala Town. She states that respondents 3 to 6 have encroached a public lane in Chirala. She is said to have submitted a representation dated 12.12.2006 to the 2nd respondent with a prayer to take steps to remove the encroachments. Her grievance is that no action has been taken thereon. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner the learned counsel for respondents 1 and 2. The public lanes within its jurisdiction vest in a municipality. If any encroachment has taken place, the municipality is under obligation to clear them. Though the petitioner contends that respondents 3 to 6 have encroached a public lane, the relevant facts are not immediately before this Court. The matter needs to be verified by causing inspection upon the said land. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to take necessary steps on the representation dated 12.12.2006 submitted by the petitioner within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. If any action is warranted against respondents 3 to 6, they shall be issued notices under the relevant provisions of law. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 30.10.2009 JSU THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.3123 of 2007 Date: 30.10.2009 JSU
