THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No. 14995 OF 2011 O R D E R: This Writ Petition has been instituted seeking a writ of mandamus for declaring the inaction of Respondents 1 and 2 in taking steps for removal of encroachments on tank poramboke of Peddacheruvu of Mettu Village, Chittamuru Mandal, covered by Survey No. 204, as illegal and arbitrary. Learned Government Pleader for Revenue, who has reacted very sharply in the matter and secured instructions from the Tahsildar, Chittamuru Mandal, SPSR Nellore District, informs that pursuant to the persuation made by the District Collector, SPSR Nellore, the Tahsildar has initiated action for evicting the encroachers from the land in question. He has also issued notices to the encroachers. Finding that there is standing crop raised by such encroachers and having overcome by the consideration for the hard labour that has gone into the exercise of raising this crop, rightly so, the Tahasildar has granted two months’ time for the encroachers to harvest the standing crop and vacate the premises. Hence, the action as directed by the District Collector has not yet materialized in the form of eviction of encroachers. The learned Government Pleader further assures this Court that without any further loss of time after the standing crop is harvested, eviction proceedings will be finalized and the writ petition need not be exercised unduly for the delay in implementing the directions issued by the District Collector. In view of the statement made by the learned Government Pleader, I direct the 2nd respondent Tahsildar to take all such measures, which are needed in accordance with law to evict the encroachers as soon as the present standing crop is harvested by them. The Tahsildar will ensure that no fresh agricultural operations are carried out by such encroachers thereafter. With this, the Writ Petition stands disposed of. No costs. ---------------------------------- (NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO, J) 21st June 2011 Mrk
