THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.27290 OF 2011 ORDER: Against the order passed under Section 6 of the Andhra Pradesh Land Encroachment Act, 1905 (for short, ‘the Act’), the present Writ Petition is filed. Sri M. Naga Raghu, Learned Counsel for the petitioner, would submit that the notice alleged to have been issued under Section 7 of the Act on 11.02.2011 was in fact not served on the petitioner; the impugned order was passed without giving the petitioner an opportunity of being heard; and, since the petitioner has been in possession of the government lands for several years, the impugned order necessitates being set aside. Section 10(1) of the Act confers a right of appeal on a person aggrieved by an order passed under Section 6 of the Act. Section 10(2) of the Act also confers power on the appellate authority to suspend the proceedings issued under Section 6 of the Act pending disposal of the appeal. All the contentions, which the petitioner has raised before this Court, can as well be examined in an appeal filed before the appellate authority. In case, such an appeal is preferred by the petitioner, the appellate authority shall consider all the contentions raised by her including that the notice under Section 7 of the Act has not been served on her. Granting liberty to the petitioner to avail the appellate remedy under the Act, the Writ Petition is dismissed. However, in the circumstances, without costs. _____________________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J September 29, 2011 MD THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.27290 OF 2011 September 29, 2011 MD
