THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.25233 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner was assigned an extent of Ac.4.77 cents of land in Survey Nos.607/2 and 4 of Peddapalle Village, Siddavattam Mandal in the year 1975. The Tahsildar, Siddavattam Mandal, 3rd respondent herein issued notice dated 14.10.2009 to the petitioner stating that the land which was assigned in his favour is needed for a public purpose viz., rehabilitation of displaced persons under the Somasila Project. The petitioner was required to submit his explanation, if any, for the resumption of the land. The said notice is challenged in this writ petition. The petitioner contends that though the purpose mentioned in the show cause notice is rehabilitation of displaced persons, the intention of the respondents is to sell the land at the rate of Rs.25,00,000/- per acre. It is also urged that there is vast extent of Government available for rehabilitating the displaced persons. The Tahsildar filed a counter affidavit stating that the writ petition is filed without cause of action. It is also stated that the petitioner has submitted explanation and that he can be said to have grievance, if only an order adverse to his interest is passed. The averments of the petitioner, be it as regards the availability of Government land or proposal to sell the land, are flatly denied. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Assignment. The writ petition is filed challenging the show cause notice dated 14.10.2009. It is not even alleged that the Tahsildar, who issued notice, does not have the jurisdiction. The contention of the petitioner is mostly on merits. He has already submitted explanation before the 3rd respondent. He can be said to have suffered any detriment, if only any order is passed contrary to his interests. There is no reason to believe that the 3rd respondent would not take the explanation submitted by the petitioner into account. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing that the 3rd respondent shall take the representation submitted by the petitioner in reply to the show cause notice into account while passing the final orders. It is needless to mention that the petitioner shall not be dispossessed till any final orders are passed. There shall be no order as to costs. __________ 10.02.2010 Note: Issue C.C. in three days.
