THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.2904 of 2009 ORDER: The Tahsildar, Markapur Mandal, Prakasam District, the second respondent herein, issued a notice, dated 06.02.2009, to the petitioner under Section 7 of the A.P. Land Encroachment Act, 1905 (for short ‘the Act’) alleging that she constructed a tin shed by encroaching the Government land of Ac.0.02 cents in Survey No.339/6 of Markapur Revenue Village, Prakasam District. The petitioner states that she submitted an explanation on 11.02.2009. Her grievance is that even before any orders are passed under Section 6 of the Act, the second respondent is trying to dispossess her. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. The second respondent initiated proceedings under the Act alleging that the petitioner encroached the Government land. The petitioner, in turn, submitted her explanation. It is only when an order is passed under Section 6 of the Act that the petitioner would be liable to be evicted, that too, after enabling her to avail the remedy of appeal. There cannot be any justification for the second respondent to interfere with the possession of the petitioner, unless and until the orders under Section 6 of the Act are passed. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that the respondents shall not dispossess the petitioner over an extent of Ac.0.02 cents of land in Survey No.339/6 of Markapur Revenue Village, Prakasam District, till an order under Section 6 of the Act is passed. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:16.02.2009 kdl
