Counsel for the Petitioner: Mr. Venkateswara Rao Gudapati Counsel for the Respondents: G.P.for Revenue (not present) The Court made the following O R D E R : Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. Nobody is appearing for the respondents. Counter has not been filed. The grievance of the petitioner is that although he had replied to the show cause notice issued intimating as to why the house site patta granted to him in Maruvada village, be not cancelled. But the Joint Collector, Vizianagaram-respondent No.1 passed an order canceling the patta without taking into consideration the reply given to him to the show cause notice. Since no counter has been filed and the petitioner contended in his affidavit that he had sent the reply to show cause notice by registered post, therefore, I allow this writ petition setting aside the impugned order, directing the respondents to pass fresh orders after taking into consideration the reply given by the petitioner to the show cause notice, if any. No order as to costs. ________________ (Bilal Nazki,J) Date:3rd March, 2005 vrn The Rule nisi has been made absolute as above.
