The petitioner submitted explanation on 17.11.2006. The Mandal Revenue Officer (MRO), Gudur Mandal – first respondent herein; is yet to pass orders, after considering the explanation submitted by the petitioner. In the meanwhile the petitioner apprehends that she may be evicted from the property without due process of law and, therefore, she filed the present writ petition. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (General- A), after getting instructions, submits that the enquiry is still pending and that order under Section 6 of the Act has to be passed by the MRO. Therefore, the MRO may conduct enquiry and pass appropriate orders within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till such orders are passed under Section 6 of the Act, the petitioner shall not be evicted without due process of law. The writ petition, with the above observations, is accordingly disposed of.
