THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.20194 OF 2006 27.09.2006 Between: Boddepalli Ranganadham @ Simhachalam, S/o.Prakasa Rao And others … Petitioners AND The Mandal Revenue Officer, Etcherla Mandal, Srikakulam District … Respondent THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.20194 OF 2006 ORDER: The petitioners 1 to 4 are residents of Fareedpeta Village of Etcherla Mandal and fifth petitioner is resident of Kesavaraopeta Village of Etcherla Mandal in Srikakulam District. They allege that the Mandal Revenue Officer, Etcherla Mandal (MRO), assigned Acs.0.02 cents each to the petitioners as house sites, that they raised dwelling houses and are in peaceful possession of the houses. It is further alleged that the MRO is proclaiming that the petitioners would be evicted and house site pattas would be given to the third parties. They then approached the District Collector, Srikakulam District, and made a representation on 09.8.2006. Even while the same is pending, apprehending that they might be evicted, they filed the present writ petition. After hearing the learned Counsel for the petitioners and learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (General), this Court is of considered opinion that the writ petition is filed on mere apprehension. There is no manner of doubt that if the petitioners are required to be evicted from their house sites, for any reason, the MRO should issue a proper notice and conduct enquiry before taking any action. The writ petition, with the above observations, is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ______________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) September 27, 2006 NOTE: Issue order copy by 29.9.2006. (By order) YS
