THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI W.P. No.17710 of 2011 ORDER : Heard Sri I.Koti Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioners, learned Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj & Rural Development appearing on behalf of Respondents 1 and 2 and Sri G.Elisha, learned standing counsel for ZPP appearing on behalf of Respondent No.3 and with their consent the Writ Petition is disposed of at this stage. The petitioners claim to be the owners and possessors of building situate in Kattavaripalem Village, Kondepi Mandal. It is their case that the said building has been constructed on the private land. However, the 4th Respondent made a complaint to Respondents 2 and 3 alleging that the petitioners have encroached public road and drainage and they sought for appropriate action in that regard. As no action was taken, they filed W.P.No.5780 of 2011, which was disposed of by orders dated 17-03-2011 directing the respondents 2 and 3, that if the allegation was found to be correct, to take action for removal of the encroachment as per law. The Panchayat Secretary of the 4th Respondent thereupon issued the impugned notice dated 15-06-2011 straight away directing the petitioners to remove the construction. This writ petition has been filed challenging the said notice contending that the 3rd Respondent has not conducted any survey to verify whether the petitioners have encroached the public road as alleged by the 4th Respondent. This Court while ordering notice before admission directed that status quo obtaining as on 24-06-2011 should be maintained. A counter-affidavit has been filed on behalf of 3rd respondent, inter alia stating that a notice dated 22-06-2011 has been issued requesting the Executive Officer (PR & RD) Kondepi for measuring the land belonging to both the parties to know about the actual position. The petitioners are also directed to attend the enquiry on 28-06-2011, but however, the same could not be carried out in view of the orders of status quo granted by this Court. As the 3rd Respondent has already initiated action by issuing notice dated 22-06-2011 for measuring the land, the learned counsel Sri I.Koti Reddy submits that the petitioners have no objection to participate in the enquiry and the 3rd respondent be directed to complete the enquiry within a time frame. Having regard to the said submission, without going into the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to direct the 3rd respondent to conduct enquiry in pursuance of the notice dated 22-06-2011 and take appropriate action in accordance with law depending on the result of the enquiry. Till such enquiry is finalized, status quo as on today shall be maintained. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs. ________________ NOUSHAD ALI, J. 05th July, 2011. skmr THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI W.P. No.17710 of 2011 Date : 05-07-2011 Between : Ravella Venkata Subbamma and another ..
