THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE V. ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION No.308 of 2008 DATED: 08-02-2008 BETWEEN Mohd. Naseeruddin, S/o. Sharfuddin, Occ: Kirana Business, C/o. Shop No.3, Branch Library Complex, Badepally, Station Jadcherla, Mahabubnagar District and another. …PETITIONERS AND The Revenue Divisional Officer, Mahabubnagar, Mahabubnagar District and another. …RESPONDENTS ORDER: Petitioners question the show cause notice dated 28.12.2007 issued by the first respondent calling upon them to submit explanation on or before 10.01.2008 as to why they shall not be evicted from the mulgies No.3 and 4 of Badepally Village, Jadcherla Mandal, given on lease in 1987 for a period of 20 years expired in 2004 and in spite of issuing several notices, the petitioners have failed to vacate the said shops. Admittedly, the petitioners failed to submit any explanation to the said show cause notice. 2. The premises occupied by the petitioners belong to the second respondent and the second respondent also issued several notices calling upon the petitioners to vacate the same but the petitioners failed to do so. Without any explanation being filed to the said show cause notice, I am of the opinion that availing the remedy of writ petition may not be just and proper, as the petitioner has got alternative remedy under the provisions of the Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorized Occupants) Act, 1971 (for short ‘the Act’). As the petitioners have failed to submit any explanation, their contentions cannot be appreciated. 3. At this stage, the learned counsel for the petitioners gave an undertaking that the petitioners will vacate and handover the vacant possession of the said premises within one month. Recording the above submission, the writ petition is dismissed granting time to the petitioners to vacate and handover the vacant possession of the aforesaid premises to the second respondent on or before March 15, 2008. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________ V. ESWARAIAH, J February 8, 2008 Note: Furnish C.C. of the order by 12.02.2008 (B/o) DSK
