Since the right of the petitioner is being effected, the principles of natural justice requiring he should be heard. Hence, the impugned proceedings are set-aside and the learned Sub-Collector Vijayawada, is directed to pass appropriate orders after giving opportunity to the petitioner as well as the third respondent also within four weeks.
