It is to be noted that complaining about the said encroachments the petitioner society got issued a notice to the first respondent and in pursuance thereof the first respondent by letter dated 31-12-2004 directed the third respondent to look into the matter and submit his report. In compliance with the same, the third respondent by letter dated 27-01-2005 informed the petitioner-society that after personal enquiry, he has submitted his report to the Collector on 27-01-2005 and the further action will be taken on receipt of the orders from the District Collector. The petitioner contends that in terms of the directions of the first respondent letter dated 31-12-2004 the third respondent ought to have removed the unauthorized huts erected by the third parties so as to enable the members of the petitioner society to construct the proposed Artisan Complex. It is alleged that the third respondent has been acting in support of the encroachers. Hence, this writ petition. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondents and in the light of the allegations made against the third respondent, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the first respondent-District Collector, to take into the matter and pass appropriate orders, in accordance with law, on the basis of the report dated 27-01-2005 submitted by the third respondent-Mandal Revenue Officer, as expeditiously as possible, preferably, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
