THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.17888 of 2011 ORDER: The order under challenge, in this Writ Petition, is the notice dated 03.06.2011 whereunder the petitioner was asked to show cause why action should not be taken against him for illegal occupation of government lands. Sri V.Hari Haran, Learned Counsel for the petitioner, would submit that the petitioner is the owner and is in occupation of the lands in question; and the lands do not belong to the government. I see no reason to examine these contentions, in proceedings under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, since the petitioner can as well raise all these contentions before the second respondent who issued the impugned show cause notice. Sri V.Hari Haran, Learned Counsel for the petitioner, states that the petitioner had already submitted his explanation to the impugned show cause notice on 08.06.2011. If the petitioner has submitted his explanation, it is open to the second respondent to pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. In case the petitioner has not submitted any such explanation, this order shall not preclude the second respondent from passing orders pursuant to the show cause notice and, thereafter, take action in accordance with law. With the above observations, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. RAMESH RANGANATHAN,J Date:01.08.2011 usd
