THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.14180 of 2007 Dated: 09-07-2007 Between: Gurrala Kista Reddy. ..... PETITIONER AND The Mandal Revenue Officer, Karimnagar, and others. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.14180 of 2007 ORDER: The petitioner was assigned land admeasuring Ac.1.04 in survey No.439/6 situated at Chinta Kunta Village, Karimnagar Mandal and District sometime in 1960s. Now first respondent, the Mandal Revenue Officer (MRO), Karimnagar, issued a show-cause notice dated 29.04.2006 calling upon the petitioner to show-cause as to why his land should not be resumed for public purpose to provide house sites to the poor people and also for the reason that his land is situated adjacent to the land which is suitable for house sites. The petitioner then submitted his explanation on 05.05.2006. MRO is yet to pass orders for resumption of the land. In the meanwhile, the petitioner filed instant writ petition challenging the notice issued by MRO. It is now well settled that ordinarily a writ petition would not lie against a show-cause notice. As required under law, first respondent issued a notice proposing to resume the land and the petitioner has already submitted explanation. Unless and until an order is passed resuming the land, the petitioner’s land cannot be taken nor he can be dispossessed. The writ petition is misconceived and the same is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 09th July, 2007 ghn
