HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY W.P.No.8048 of 2010 Date : 23-12-2011 Between Boddu Suvarna Kumar s/o. Durga Rao .. Petitioner And The Agent to the Government, East Godavari District, Kakinada and others .. Respondents Counsel for petitioner : Sri K. Venkatesh Counsel for respondents : Government Pleader for Social Welfare The court made the following: ORDER: At the Interlocutory stage, the Writ Petition is taken up for hearing and disposal. This Writ Petition is filed assailing notice dated 11-12- 2009 of respondent No.3 whereby he has called upon the petitioner to stop construction and to appear before him on 16-12-2009. The grievance of the petitioner is that without initiating any proceedings under the Andhra Pradesh Land Transfer Regulation 1 of 1959, as amended by Regulation No.1 of 1970 (for short “the Regulation”) respondent No.3 has no power or authority to issue the impugned notice. No counter-affidavit is filed on behalf of the respondents. The learned Government Pleader for Social Welfare stated that so far proceedings have not been initiated under Regulation. Unless and until such proceedings are initiated, respondent No.3 has no power or jurisdiction to issue the impugned notice. In this view of the matter, the impugned notice is quashed and the Writ Petition is allowed. Liberty is however given to the respondents to initiate appropriate proceedings under the Regulation. As a sequel, WPMP No.10359/2010 is disposed of as infructuous. ________________________ Justice C.V. Nagarjuna Reddy Date : 23-12-2011 AM
