Stabilizer and 150 bags of super fine rice, seized from the petitioner, to the Petitioner herein by declaring the action of the Respondents in seizing the above without giving notice and without furnishing accounts as illegal, unjust, arbitrary and contrary to the principles of natural justice and pass Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.Y.ASHOK RAJ Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following O R D E R: The only controversy in this case is regarding the payment of land revenue. The petitioner contends he has paid all land revenue due through Village Administrative Officer, and has obtained receipts from him. Whereas, the respondents ordered seizure of Television with stabilizer and 150 bags of super fine rice, on the ground that revenue had not been paid. An interim order has been passed by this Court, but the property seized from the petitioner has not so far been returned, but it is submitted that they have sold the rice and some amount was sent to the petitioner, which he has not accepted so far. In these circumstances, I feel that the matter needs an enquiry by Mandal Revenue Officer, Mellacheruvu Mandal, Mellacheruvu, Nalgonda District, and after hearing the petitioner and giving him an opportunity of producing the documentary evidence he has, the Mandal Revenue Officer may pass final orders. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs.
