The case of the petitioner, in brief, is that he was assigned an extent of Ac.0.07 cents of land in survey No.28/33 situated at Gythula Chodavaram village, Poosapatirega Mandal, Vizianagaram District. While so, as certain land was required for the purpose of widening of N.H.5 road, the Government acquired an extent of Ac.0.30 cents from out of Ac.0.75 cents, by paying compensation. Subsequently, taking advantage of his innocence, some persons obtained his signatures on some blank papers stating that they would convert the land into residential land and by managing the revenue and police officials they high handedly trespassed into his land. Hence, he got issued a legal notice to the respondents 2 to 4 herein on 01.06.2009 calling upon them to evict the encroachers and restore the possession back to him. In response thereto, the said authorities have neither given any reply nor taken steps to enquire into the matter. Aggrieved by the same, he gave a representation to the 1st respondent on 05.08.2009 requesting to enquire into the matter and take steps for restoration of the land in his favour. But, till date no action has been taken by the 1st respondent. Therefore, he filed the present writ petition. 3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. 4. Having considered the submissions made by both the learned counsel and as the respondents 2 to 4 neither gave a reply to the legal notice got issued by the petitioner on 01.06.2009 nor took steps to enquire into the matter and the subsequent representation of the petitioner dated 05.09.2009 is very much pending with the 1st respondent, the Tahsildar, Poosapatirega Mandal, Vizianagaram District - 4th respondent is hereby directed to enquire into the matter at the earliest, and pass appropriate orders, in accordance with law. 5. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of.
