IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) PRESENT: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY FRIDAY, THE TENTH DAY OF DECEMBER, TWO THOUSAND AND TEN WRIT PETITION No.29683 of 2010 Between: Angaluduru Venkataramana and others. … Petitioners And The Tahsildar, Ponnur Mandal, Guntur District and others. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioners: Sri P.Parameshwara Prasad. Counsel for the respondents: AGP for Revenue. This Court made the following: ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed for a Mandamus to set aside notices dated 18.11.2010 issued under Section 7 of the A.P. Land Encroachment Act, 1905 (for short ‘the Act’). A perusal of the averments contained in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition shows that the petitioners are in possession of Acs.0.02 cents each in Survey No. 221/1B of D.V.C. Colony, Ponnur Town, Guntur District. By the impugned notices, the petitioners were called upon to submit their explanations. The petitioners are stated to have submitted their explanations on 22.11.2010. Apprehending that the respondents may dispossess them even before an order is passed under Section 6 of the Act, the present writ petition is filed. In my opinion, when the proceedings under the Act are initiated for eviction of the petitioners, there can be no basis for the petitioners’ apprehension that they may be dispossessed even before a final order of eviction is passed. However, having regard to the above apprehension expressed by the petitioners, the writ petition is disposed of with the direction to respondent No.2 to consider the objections filed by the petitioners and not to dispossess them from the lands in question till appropriate final order is passed under Section 6 of the Act. Subject to the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, W.P.M.P. No.37831 of 2010 is disposed of as infructuous. __________________________ C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Dt.10-12-2010 MNR
