Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (Assignment). There cannot be any dispute that the impugned order cannot be sustained. Even if the petitioner is in occupation of the Government land, he can only be evicted in accordance with law as contemplated under A.P.Land Encroachment Act, 1905 (the Act, for brevity). Therefore, unless and until prior notice under Section 7 of the Act is given calling upon the petitioner to show cause as to why he should not be evicted from the encroachment, an order cannot be passed directly. Therefore, the writ petition is allowed giving liberty to the first respondent to issue notice under Section 7 of the Act and take further action in accordance with law. The writ petition is accordingly allowed. No costs. ______________ (V.V.S.RAO,J) 08.08.2006 pln
