THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.2785 of 2010 ORDER: The Tahsildar, Khairtabad Mandal, Hyderabad, respondent No.3 herein issued notices, dated 19.01.2010, to the petitioners under Section 7 of the Andhra Pradesh Land Encroachment Act, 1905 (for short ‘the Act’) requiring them to explain as to why they shall not be evicted from the extents mentioned therein. It was alleged that the petitioners have encroached into graveyard in T.S.No.3/1P.K-89 of Khairtabad. The petitioners assert that they have been granted pattas in respect of small extents of land in the year 1995. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. The impugned notices were issued to the petitioners on the assumption that they are in unauthorised occupation of the Government Land. In case the petitioners have been assigned that very land, they can certainly place the patta certificates before respondent No.3. There is no reason to believe that the explanations or the material that may be submitted by the petitioners would not be taken into account by him. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, leaving it open to the petitioners to submit their written explanations as well as the supporting material to respondent No.3, within one week from today. Respondent No.3 shall take the same into account before any final orders are passed under Section 6 of the Act. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J Dt:10.02.2010 Note: Issue cc tomorrow. (B/o) kdl
