THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.12372 OF 1999 ORAL ORDER: This Writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the order of eviction passed under Section 6 of the Land Encroachment Act, 1905 (for short “the Act”) as arbitrary and illegal. It is primarily contended by the petitioner that before passing the order of eviction, there was no notice as required under Section 7 of the Act. Though it is pleaded in the counter-affidavit that a notice dated 19.4.1999 was issued under Section 7 of the Act, nothing could be placed before this Court to show that such notice was actually served on the petitioner enabling him to make his representation against the proposed action. Having regard to the facts and circumstances and keeping in view the order of status quo granted by this Court long back on 17.9.1999, which continued to be in operation throughout, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition granting liberty to the petitioner to submit his explanation within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. On receipt of such explanation, the 1st respondent shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders afresh under Section 6 of the Act following due process of law. Accordingly, the impugned order is set aside and the writ petition is disposed of with the above direction. No costs. _______________ (G. ROHINI, J.) 17th September, 2007.
