JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No. 2520 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioners have averred that they had purchased certain lands under an agreement of sale from D.Yadaiah and others. It is the case of the petitioners that the 4th respondent issued a show cause notice under Section 7 of the Land Encroachment Act III of 1905 (for short, ‘the Act’), wherein it was mentioned that as the petitioners have encroached upon the Government lands, they should show cause as to why they should not be evicted. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that all the petitioners have submitted their replies to the show cause notice, but the 4th respondent without passing any final orders, is trying to dispossess the petitioners from the suit land. Learned Government Pleader for the respondents submits that all the petitioners have not submitted their replies and she further states that till the orders are passed by the competent authority, the petitioners shall not be evicted. After hearing the counsel for the parties, the Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction that the petitioners shall not be evicted from the subject land under their possession, till the 4th respondent passes orders on merits, under Section 6 of the Act. No costs. _____________________ ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA, J Date: 08.02.2011 Note: Issue CC in three days (B/o) Ivd/Bsb
