THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No. 14683 of 2011 ORDER: The relief sought for in this Writ Petition is to direct the respondents not to take further action pursuant to the notice dated 28.04.2011, issued in respect of property bearing No. 16-1- 24/60/3 situated at Saidabad, Saidabad Mandal, Hyderabad District and to direct the respondents to consider the petitioners’ explanation before passing a final order. It is the petitioners’ case that while a notice issued to them is dated 28.04.2011, a copy thereof was received only on 23.05.2011 even before which date, the last date for submission of explanation to the show cause notice expired on 10.05.2011. Sri S. Tulasi Das, learned counsel for the petitioners would state that consequent on receipt of the show cause notice, the petitioners have submitted an explanation on 25.05.2011 seeking one week’s further time to submit further documents in this regard. In the said fact situation, I consider appropriate to permit the petitioners to submit their explanation to the show cause notice, along with all documents on which they rely upon, within one week from today and, in case such an explanation is submitted, the respondents shall not take coercive steps for eviction of the petitioners from the land in question till final orders are passed under the provisions of the Land Encroachment Act, 1905. In case the petitioners do not submit the reply aforementioned within one week from today, it is open to the respondents to proceed to take action in accordance with law. The Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. However, in the circumstances, without costs. ------------------------------------ (RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J) 31.05.2011 ksld
