If the facts pleaded by the petitioner are correct, there can be no justification for respondent Nos.1 and 2 not to respond to the petitioner’s grievances. Therefore, before going into the correctness or otherwise of the allegation of the petitioner, respondent Nos.1 and 2 are directed to consider the petitioner’s representations and if they find truth therein, they shall initiate appropriate action for removal of the encroachment by respondent Nos.3 to 5 by following the procedure prescribed by law. Subject to the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP No.7188 of 2011 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 17.03.2011 ES
