Admittedly, the third respondent-Mandal Revenue Officer, issued notice under Section 7 of the A.P. Land Encroachment Act, 1905 (for short, ‘the Act’) calling upon the petitioner to explain as to why she should not be evicted from the land in question. The petitioner states that she has already submitted a detailed explanation on 21-02-2005 and further states that though the third respondent has not passed any final order so far under Section 6 of the Act, he has been taking steps to dispossess her from the land in question high-handedly. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, the writ petition is disposed of, making it clear that without passing a final order under Section 6 of the Act in pursuance of the show cause notice dated 08-02-2005, the petitioner shall not be dispossessed from the land in question. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________ G. ROHINI, J Dated: 25-02-2005 NOTE: Furnish order by wire at Party’s costs. B/o.
