ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 25777 of 2011 O R D E R: The 3rd respondent herein issued a notice dated 04.09.2011 under Rule 7(2) of the A.P. Scheduled Areas Land Transfer Rules, 1969 calling upon the petitioner to show cause within 15 days as to why she should not be ejected from Ac.0.83 of land situated in R.S.No.83/5 A of Padmapuram Village, Arakuvally Mandal, Visakhapatnam District alleging that the said land was transferred in contravention of Section 3(1) of Regulation 1 of 1959 in favour of the petitioner and that she had been in possession of the said property claiming under the said transfer. It was also mentioned in the said notice that the case was posted to 15.09.2011 at 11.00 A.M. for hearing and the petitioner was directed to appear before the 3rd respondent, failing which the case would be finalized on the records available in the Office. Aggrieved by the said notice, the present writ petition is filed. It is pleaded that the impugned notice under which the petitioner was directed to appear on 15.09.2011 was served on the petitioner only on 13.09.2011. Thus it is contended that the action of the 3rd respondent in initiating the eviction proceedings without affording a reasonable and effective opportunity to the petitioner to make her representation amounts to arbitrary exercise of power. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Social Welfare appearing for the respondents. Having regard to the specific plea of the petitioner that the impugned notice dated 04.09.2011 was served on her only on 13.09.2011 and keeping in view that Rule 7 of the A.P. Scheduled Areas Land Transfer Rules, 1969 provides for 15 days notice, the petitioner is hereby permitted to submit her explanation to the impugned notice on or before 28.09.2011. However, the petitioner shall appear before the 3rd respondent on 15.09.2011. After receiving the petitioner’s explanation within the time granted above, the 3rd respondent shall fix up a fresh date for hearing and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ______________ G. ROHINI, J. Date: 14.09.2011 KLP THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.
