THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.28804 of 2011 ORDER: Failure on the part of respondent No.3 to take action on the petitioner’s representation dated 14.03.2011, for removal of encroachments on her land admeasuring Ac.1.58 cents in Sy.No.934/A1, B, Vengalayapalem Village, Guntur Rural Mandal, Guntur District, is questioned in this Writ Petition as being illegal and arbitrary. A consequential direction is sought to the respondents to take steps for removal of encroachments in the aforesaid land. When the matter was listed on 28.10.2011, Learned Government Pleader for Revenue (Andhra and Rayalaseema Areas) sought time to obtain instructions. Today, the Learned Government Pleader states that the subject land had been assigned to the petitioner and, once the land is under assignment, no action can be taken by the third respondent (Tahsildar, Guntur District) under the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Land Encroachment Act, 1905. Leaving it open to the petitioner to avail the remedy of a Civil Suit before the Civil Court of competent jurisdiction seeking delivery of possession and eviction of the encroachers from the subject land, the Writ Petition is dismissed. However, in the circumstances, without costs. RAMESH RANGANATHAN,J Date:02.11.2011 usd
