HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.16995 of 2010 Dated: 16-07-2010 Between: Sannala Brahmaji @ Brahmarao. … Petitioner And Government of Andhra Pradesh, rep. by the District Collector, Krishna District & others. … Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.16995 of 2010 ORDER: In this writ petition, the petitioner has questioned the notice, dated 18.03.2010, issued by the 3rd respondent- Tahsildar in Rc.B.69/2010. The said notice is issued in Form-II, in exercise of powers conferred under Rule 3 of the Andhra Pradesh Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Rules, 2007, framed under the Andhra Pradesh Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977, calling upon the petitioner to explain as to why he should not be evicted from the land to an extent of Ac.0-80 cents out of a total extent of Ac.4-09 cents in R.S.No.111/2 of Bantumilli village and Mandal of Krishna District. It is the case of the petitioner that the said land is not assigned land and that the same was purchased by his grandfather, as early as in 1953. It is submitted by the learned counsel for petitioner that inspite of the request made by the petitioner to give the particulars of assigned patta, no such particulars are given, and inspite of the same, the respondents have issued the impugned notice, seeking to evict him from the land in question. If the petitioner’s land is not assigned land, he can still respond to the impugned show cause notice, by stating that it is not an assigned land, and there is no illegality in the pattas issued to his grandfather. Non- furnishing of particulars as asked by the petitioner with regard to the assignment, is no ground for not filing his explanation to the impugned show cause notice. As much as no final orders are passed so far, there is no reason to entertain this writ petition at this stage. As it is stated that the petitioner has not filed his explanation, this writ petition is disposed of, permitting the petitioner to file his explanation to the impugned show cause notice, within a period of four weeks from today. If any such explanation is filed before passing of final orders, the respondents shall consider the same and pass appropriate final orders pursuant to the notice, dated 18.03.2010. It is also made clear that if no explanation is filed by the petitioner within the time referred above, it is open for the respondents to pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 16th July 2010 ajr
