HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.18620 OF 2010 Date: 30th July 2010 Between: Sri Koundinya Educational Society, Chaitanya Nagar, Rajahmundry, rep. by its Secretary. … Petitioner And The Tahsildar, Rajanagaram Mandal, East Godavari District & others. … Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.18620 OF 2010 ORDER: Heard learned counsel for petitioner and also the learned Government Pleader appearing for respondents. In this writ petition, the petitioner-educational Society has questioned the notice, dated 23rd July 2010, issued in Proceedings No.A/296/2006. It is the case of the petitioner that the petitioner is the owner of the land covered by Sy.No.498 of Velugubanda village of Rajanagaram Mandal in East Godavari District, wherein, they have constructed buildings to run Engineering and other colleges. It is the grievance of the petitioner that by issuing the notice, dated 23.07.2010, respondents are trying to lay the road on the disputed site without giving an opportunity to them. A perusal of the impugned notice shows that the same is issued by the Tahsildar, Rajanagaram Mandal, stating that a road towards East of the property of petitioner-Educational Society will be surveyed and hence, a request is made to the petitioner to depute their authorised persons. So far, no proceedings are initiated for eviction of the petitioner and the impugned notice is merely a notice to conduct survey so as to ascertain as to whether there are any encroachments by the petitioner into the Government land. In that view of the matter, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the respondents that after conducting survey, if any portion is found to be in possession of the petitioner as an encroacher, petitioner shall not be evicted from the above said piece of land, otherwise than due process of law. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 30th July 2010 Note: Order by wire at party’s costs. (b/o) ajr
