THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.22633 OF 2011 ORDER: The action of the respondents in seeking to demolish the petitioners’ property, without following the procedure established by law, is under challenge in this Writ Petition. When the matter came up on 11.08.2011, the Writ Petition was adjourned till today to enable the Learned Government Pleader for Revenue (Telangana Area) to obtain instructions. Today, the Learned Government Pleader states that, pursuant to an order of the Lokayuktha, action had been initiated to evict all those who had encroached upon tank bund land of Gurram Cheruvu Tank in Saroornagar Mandal. He would state that, since the petitioners were residing in sheds constructed thereupon, a copy of the notice was affixed on the doors of their respective premises. The Learned Government Pleader has also made available a copy of the said notice in the Court to the Learned Counsel for the petitioners. Sri M. Layeeq Khan, Learned Counsel for the petitioners, acknowledges receipt of a copy of the notice. He requests that the petitioners be given an opportunity of being heard before any orders are passed for their eviction. Since the petitioners have, admittedly, not received a copy of the notice, and a copy thereof has been handed over to their Counsel in Court today, it is but appropriate that they be granted time to file their objections thereto. In case the petitioners submit their objections within two weeks from today, the second respondent shall consider those objections, in accordance with law, and pass appropriate orders thereupon. Till final orders are passed, as directed herein above, the petitioners shall not be dispossessed from the property in question. It is made clear that, in case the petitioners do not submit their objections within two weeks from today, it shall be open to the respondents to take necessary action, in accordance with law, for their eviction. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, disposed of. However, in the circumstances, without costs. _____________________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J August 17, 2011 Note: Issue C.C. in two days.
