THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION No.27876 of 2007 Between: Kommula Ganeswara Rao .. PETITIONER and The State of A.P. and others. .. RESPONDENTS THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION No.27876 of 2007 ORDER: It is the case of the petitioner that the Gram Panchayat-4th respondent leased out the land admeasuring 100 to 150 sq. yards to his father long back initially for a period of three years and thereafter, it was renewed periodically. It is stated that he has not encroached the said land, but it was leased out by the 4th respondent. While so, the 3rd respondent issued a notice under Section 7 of A.P.Land Encroachment Act, 1905 (for short “the Act”) calling upon the petitioner to submit explanation as to why he shall not be evicted from the Government land admeasuring Ac.0-01 cents in Sy.No.181 situated at Anatavaram Village, Mummidivaram Mandal, East Godavari District, as the said land is a tank bed land. Thereafter, final notice was issued under Section 6 of the Act on 06-10-2007 giving seven days time to the petitioner to vacate the land in question. Admittedly, an appeal lies against the final notice issued under Section 6 to the Act to the Revenue Divisional Officer under Section 10 of the Act. In view of the alternative remedy available under Section 10 of the Act, the writ petition is not maintainable and the same is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed with liberty to file an appeal before the Revenue Divisional Officer. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________ 27-12-2007 Prv
