IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD TUESDAY, THE FIFTH DAY OF OCTOBER TWO THOUSAND AND NINE PRESENT THE HON'BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION NO. 18792 OF 2010 Between: Kolluru Veerabhadra Rao and another …PETITIONERS AND The District Collector, and others. … RESPONDNETS The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION NO.18792 OF 2010 O R D E R: The petitioners herein claim to be in possession and enjoyment of the building bearing Door No.9/40 in Survey No.336/1, situated at Parimpudi, Hamlet of Koyyalagudam Village and Mandal, West Godavari District. This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the notice issued by respondent No.3, under Section 7 of the A.P. Land Encroachment Act, (for short “ the Act”) dated 23.06.2010, for eviction of the petitioners from the land in question alleging that the petitioners had encroached upon the Gramakantam, is arbitrary and illegal. Admittedly the impugned notice is only a show cause notice under which the petitioners were asked to submit their explanation. The material available on record shows that the petitioners submitted their application dated 06.07.2010 and the same was received by respondent No.3 on 16.07.2010. Hence, it is for the respondents to consider the explanation and pass appropriate orders and at this stage it is not necessary for this Court to express any opinion about the ownership claimed by the petitioners in respect of the land in question. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing respondent No.3 - Tahsildar, to pass appropriate orders in accordance with law and communicate the same to the petitioners herein. Till such time the respondents shall not interfere with the possession of the petitioners in respect of the land in question in any manner whatsoever. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________ G.ROHINI, J OCTOBER 05, 2010 YVL
