THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION No.3073 of 2008 Between: Ch.Ramakrishna. .. PETITIONER and The District Collector and another. .. RESPONDENTS THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION No.3073 of 2008 ORDER: Petitioner questions the action of the 2nd respondent in seeking to dispossess from the land admeasuring Ac.1-74 cents in Sy.No.347 situated a t Ponduru Village and Mandal, Srikakulam District, without following due process of law. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner contended that the land in question is a poramboke land and the petitioner encroached upon the said land. Even, an encroacher is also entitled for a notice under the provisions of A.P.Land Encroachment Act, 1905 (for short “the Act”) before evicting. I am not inclined to express any opinion as to whether the petitioner is in possession of the land in question or not. However, if the petitioner is in possession of the land in question, the 2nd respondent cannot dispossesses him without issuing notice under Section 7 of the Act and without following due process of law. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________ 15-02-2008 Prv
