The Hon’ble Sri Justice C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy Writ Petition No.5696 of 2002 Dated 22nd July, 2010 Between: Gubbala Satyanarayana and another. …Petitioners And Chamkuripalem Gram Panchayat and 3 others. …Respondents Counsel for the petitioners: Mr.K.Gopal for Mr.A.V.Seshasai Counsel for respondent No.1: None appeared Counsel for respondent No.2: AGP for Panchayat Raj Counsel for respondent Nos.3 & 4: AGP for Revenue The Court made the following: Order: In this Writ Petition, the grievance of the petitioners, in short, is that they are sought to be dispossessed from the Gram Panchayat land in RS.No.126 of L.B.Cherla Village, Chamakuripalem Gram Panchayat, which is in their occupation and being used for the purpose of running a small coffee hotel and soda shop. In the counter-affidavit filed by respondent No.3, it is averred that the land in occupation of the petitioners belongs to Chamakuripalem Gram Panchayat, which has passed a resolution to put the said land to use as a playground. While the petitioners admit that the land in question belongs to Chamakuripalem Gram Panchayat, their grievance is that proper procedure is not being followed by the respondents to evict them. Even respondent No.3 has admitted that the petitioners are in possession of the land belonging to Chamakuripalem Gram Panchayat. In the light of these facts, I am of the opinion that the petitioners being encroachers of the land belonging to the Gram Panchayat are liable to be evicted by respondent No.1, if the said land is required for any of the purposes permissible in law. However, before evicting the petitioners, respondent Nos.1 and 3 are required to follow the due process of law. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of with the direction to respondent Nos.1 to 3 to follow the legal procedure before evicting the petitioners from the land in their occupation. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP.No.7149 of 2002, filed by the petitioners for interim relief, is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Dated 22nd July, 2010 lur
