THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 08/07/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W. P (C) No. 19443 of 2008 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 8th July, 2008. J U D G M E N T The petitioner is occupying Government land. Proceedings have been initiated to evict him from the land. Seeking a direction to respondents 1 to 3 to evict him from the land, respondents 4 and 5 filed W.P(C) No. 8384/2008 in which, by Ext. P2 judgment, this Court directed disposal of the complaint filed by respondents 4 and 5 after giving notice to the persons who are likely to be affected by any order to be passed thereon. The petitioner's grievance is that the petitioner has not been afforded an opportunity of being heard pursuant to Ext. P2. The learned Government Pleader would submit that several notices were issued to the petitioner and he did not turn up. 2. I am not inclined to go into the disputed questions of fact now, in so far as in Ext. P4 representation filed by the petitioner before the 3rd respondent, the petitioner only seeks six months' time to vacate the land occupied by him. Ext.P4 is dated 30-5-2008. I am of opinion that the petitioner can be given the time requested for by him in Ext. P4. Accordingly, recording the undertaking of the petitioner that he would vacate the land occupied by him on or before 30-11-2008, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction that it would be open to respondents 1 to 3 to evict the petitioner from the land, if he does not vacate the land on or before 30-11-2008, without having to issue any further notice or proceedings in that regard.
