THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 19433 of 2010 Dated: 09.08.2010 Between: Yerra Venkata Ramakrishna and another … Petitioners And The Agency Divisional Officer, Rampachodavaram, East Godavari District and another … Respondents The Court made the following:- THE HON'BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 19433 of 2010 O R D E R : This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the proceedings initiated by the respondents in ADO LTR Nos.8 of 2010 and 12 of 2010 under the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Scheduled Areas Land Transfer Regulation 1 of 1959 as amended by Regulation 1 of 1970 in respect of the petitioners house property bearing Door No.5-93 situated in an extent of 0.06 cents of Rampachodavaram village and Mandal, East Godavari District is arbitrary and illegal. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Social Welfare appearing for the respondents. It is not disputed before this Court that the land is situated in a scheduled area. It is also not in dispute that the petitioners are non-tribals. As could be seen, the impugned notices are only show cause notices under which the petitioners were called upon to show cause why they should not be ejected from the land in question. In the circumstances, even assuming that the allegations in the impugned notice are incorrect and without any basis, the petitioners ought to have submitted their explanations together with the supporting material if any. As on today as there is no adverse order as such, in my considered opinion the writ petition is premature and therefore, the mandamus as prayed for cannot be granted. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of permitting the petitioners to submit their explanations to the impugned notices within a period of two weeks from today. If any such explanations are received, the respondents shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. Till such time, the respondents shall not interfere with the possession of the petitioners in respect of the property in question in any manner whatsoever. No costs. ______________ Date: 09.08.2010 G. ROHINI, J Ivd
