Hence, the said applications along with the writ petition were adjourned for today. Even today, there is no representation for the petitioner. Hence, the writ petition is liable to be dismissed for non-prosecution. Even otherwise, the writ petition is liable to be dismissed on merits, because the proceedings impugned in the writ petition relate to a notice issued in Form-I whereby the petitioner has been directed to show cause why the lands in dispute shall not be resumed under the provisions of Section 3(2) of the Andhra Pradesh Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Act, 1977. Ordinarily, this Court does not entertain writ petitions filed questioning a show cause notice issued by the competent authority in exercise of the statutory power. The petitioner failed to make out any case before this Court to deviate from this rule. In this view of the matter, the writ petition is dismissed. It is, however, made clear that if any order has been passed in pursuance of the impugned notice by which the petitioner may feel aggrieved, it is entitled to avail appropriate remedies available to it in law to question the same. As a sequel to dismissal of main petition, WPMP.No.9588 of 2005 and WVMP.No.1141 of 2007 are disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NARAGJUNA REDDY, J 17th June, 2008. kvni
