PETITIONER(S) AND 1 The Govt. of A.P. rep. by District Collector, East Godavari District at Kakinada. 2 The Revenue Divisional Officer, Kakinada, East Godavari Dist. 3 The Tahsildar, U.Kothapalli Mandal, East Godavari Dist. .....RESPONDENT(S) Petition under Article 226 of the constitution of India praying that in the circumstances stated in the Affidavit filed herein the High Court will be pleased to issue a Writ , order or direction more particularly one in the nature of Writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in evicting the petitioners from their respective lands i.e. Petitioner NO. 1 to 65 about 0- 50 cents of land each in Sy.No. 627 and 623 of Yedapalli, Kothapalli Mandal, East Godavari District Known as Kotha Cheruvu and patha Cheruvu and petitioner No. 66 to 158 about 0- 30 cents of Land each in Sy.No.575 of Yedapalli, Kopthapalli Mandal, East Godavari District Known as Narasimharao Cheruvu is illegal, improper and arbitrary beside violative of Principles of Natural Justice and consequ8ently direct the respondents not to interfere with the possession of the petitioners in the respect of the above mentioned lands in their occupation. Counsel for the Petitioners :SMT.K.SESHARAJYAM Counsel for the Respondents : GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : HON'BLE SRI ANIL R. DAVE, THE CHIEF JUSTICE And HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION NO : 7277 of 2008 ORDER : (Per Hon’ble The Chief Justice Sri Anil R.Dave) In this petition, the petitioners have challenged the validity of notices issued under Section 7 of the A.P.Land Encroachment Act, 1905 (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Act’). We have heard learned advocate appearing for the petitioners. It has been submitted by her that the impugned notices have not been properly issued for the reason that there is a reference to one order passed by this Court in the show cause notices, and possibly because of that direction given by the Court, the impugned show cause notices have been issued to the petitioners by respondent No.3. In our opinion, this petition is absolutely premature for the reason that the petitioners have approached this Court challenging the validity of show cause notices, which have been issued to them to make their submissions before the concerned authorities. These are only the show cause notices and we are sure that the authority shall consider the replies which might be filed by the petitioners. It is pertinent to note that even if the decision adverse to the petitioners is taken, there is a provision under the Act with regard to appeal. At this stage, learned advocate appearing for petitioners has submitted that so far the petitioners have not given their replies to the show cause notices. Looking to the fact that the petitioners are illiterate farmers, four weeks time is granted from today for giving their replies to respondent No.3. If the petitioners are in actual possession of the land in question, respondent No.3 shall not evict them till the final decision is taken by him on the replies, which might be filed before him. We clarify that the contents of the order referred to in the show cause notices shall not be taken into account in the facts of this particular case and respondent No.3 shall decide the matter objectively without being influenced by any observations made in any other matter. In view of the above facts, the writ petition is disposed of. _________________ ANIL R. DAVE, CJ 24th April 2008 ______________________ R.
