It is alleged that under the guise of the said G.O., the first respondent, without issuing any notice and contrary to the terms and conditions of the lease entered into between the petitioner and the second respondent, which is valid upto 11.4.2007, is trying to evict the petitioner from the property in question. In view of the fact that the very lease is for more than one year and has not been registered, the petitioner cannot claim that he can continue till the expiry of the lease period and at the most it is a lease from month to month. In view of the same, the first respondent has to follow the due procedure for eviction of the petitioner from the land in question. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. __________________ A. GOPAL REDDY. J. 11th November, 2004 tsr.
