Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.N.SIVA REDDY Counsel for the Respondent Nos.1 and 2: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following: O R D E R: The petitioner approached this Court invoking its extraordinary jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India apprehending summary demolition of the thatched house and her dispossession from the land admeasuring Ac.0-03 cents, situated in Survey No.89 of Sivala village, Pamarru Mandal of East Godavari District. The case of the petitioner is that the land under her occupation, in which she constructed a thatched house, is situated in a Poramboke, which vest in Sivala Grampanchayath, in respect of which the respondents have no jurisdiction whatsoever. It is alleged that the Mandal Revenue Officer, Pamarru directed the Village Administrative Officer to demolish the thatched house and take possession of the land without putting the petitioner on any notice whatsoever. I am not inclined to express any opinion whatsoever as to whether the land in Survey No.89 admeasuring Ac.0-03 cents is situated in a Poramboke or the same belongs to the Government. Suffice it to hold that the petitioner cannot be dispossessed from the land and the thatched house without putting her on notice and following the proper procedure. In the result, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents herein not to dispossess the petitioner from the land in question admeasuring Ac.0-03 cents and also not to demolish her thatched house, situated in Survey No.89, in Sivala village, without following the proper procedure and putting the petitioner on notice. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of without any order as to costs. _____________________ B.SUDERSHAN REDDY, J. Dated: 25-11-2004 GS/PV To 1.
