PETITIONERS A N D The Tenali Municipality …RESPONDENT THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C. BHANU WRIT PETITION NO.29819 OF 2011 ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed seeking to declare the action of the respondent in trying to dispossess the petitioners from their huts/tin sheds laid in between Sivalayam temple and a drainage line over PWD Kalavakatta, Sivalayam Street, Marrispet, Tenali, Guntur District, without following due process of law, as illegal and arbitrary. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioners contended that the respondent is trying to evict the petitioners forcibly from the land in question and hence, he prays to issue a direction to the respondent not to evict them. 3. On the other hand, learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondent contended that after following due process of law only, the petitioners shall be evicted in case they occupied Government land illegally. 4. The grievance of the petitioners is that the respondent is trying to evict them forcibly. If the petitioners are in illegal or unauthorized occupation of the Government land, the Municipality has to follow the procedure in evicting the petitioners from the land in question. 5. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the respondent not to evict the petitioners without following due process of law. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________ K.C.BHANU, J DECEMBER 13, 2011. Note: Issue C.C.within three (3) days. (B/o) YVL
