THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.1955 of 2010 ORDER: The Tahsildar, Vijayapuram Mandal, 1st respondent herein issued notice dated 18.01.2010 to the petitioner under Section 7 of the A.P. Land Encroachment Act (for short ‘the Act’) requiring her to explain as to why she shall not be evicted from an extent of Ac.6.99 cents in Survey No.147 of Sriharipuram Village. The petitioner challenges the same. The petitioner contends that the land does not belong to Government and that she purchased it on 20.10.2004 from her vendor, who is a pattadar. Reference is made to the pattadar pass book issued to the petitioner. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. A show cause notice issued under the Act can be interfered with, if only it suffers from the infirmities, such as lack of jurisdiction. The Tahsildar is competent to issue notice. Therefore, it cannot be said that the impugned show cause notice is issued without jurisdiction. The petitioner can submit her explanation to the show cause notice and she can be said to have suffered detriment, if only any order is passed against her. However, till any final orders are passed, the possession of the petitioner cannot be disturbed. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing that the 1st respondent shall not evict or otherwise disturb the possession of the petitioner, till any final orders are passed on the basis of the impugned show cause notice and the explanation that may be submitted by her. Thee shall be no order as to costs. __________ 03.02.2010 jsu THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.1955 of 2010 Date: 03.02.2010 JSU
