HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.22017 of 2006 Dated:26.10.2006 Between: Abbireddi Veera Reddy. …Petitioners and The State of A.P. and others. …Respondent HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.22017 of 2006 ORDER: The petitioner herein filed the instant Writ Petition seeking a writ of mandamus declaring the alleged highhanded action of the respondents in proceeding with the eviction of the petitioner from the land admeasuring Ac.0.03½ cents in Survey No.509 situated at Gudur Village in Kadapa Mandal and District, as illegal and contrary to the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Land Encroachment Act, 1905 (for short ‘the Act’). At the stage of admission itself the learned Government Pleader for Revenue opposed the Writ Petition contenting that the Writ Petition is filed on a mere apprehension, and whenever the petitioner has to be evicted necessary procedure has to be followed under the provisions of the Act. There cannot be any dispute that even if a person is in illegal occupation of the Government land, the Government has to take steps either under the Act or under the Andhra Pradesh Land Grabbing (Prohibition) Act, 1982, or under the relevant Board Standing Orders. Without notice, the petitioner cannot be evicted from the land. The Writ Petition, with the above observations, is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 26.10.2006 Note: Issue C.C today. B/o. vs
