Sake Balija Ramudu , Chejarla Ramudu, v. The State Of Andhra Pradesh

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE A.RAMALINGESWARA RAO WRIT PETITION Nos.8036, 8056 and 8143 of 2018 COMMON ORDER:

These three Writ Petitions are being disposed of at the admission stage after hearing the learned Counsel for the petitioners.

The petitioner in W.P.No.8036 of 2018 claims to be the owner of an extent of Acs.2.96 cents in Survey No.221-1, Acs.2.00 in Survey No.221-3 of A.Narayanapuram Village of Anantapuramu Mandal, Anantapuramu District. The petitioner in W.P.No.8056 of 2018 owns an extent of Acs.2.50 cents in Survey No.59 and the petitioner in W.P.No.8143 of 2018 claims to be the owner of an extent of Acs.5.25 cents in Survey No. 223-1 of the same Village. The said lands were assigned to them on 06.06.1986, 14.04.2008 and 16.11.1990 respectively. They have been in possession of the said lands since the date of assignment. While so, the fourth respondent issued show cause notices dated 02.01.2018, Nil-02-2018 and 02.01.

2018 respectively asking the petitioners to submit explanation on the allegation that the land which was assigned to them was not put to use and it was left fallow. The petitioners state that they submitted their explanation to the said show cause notice and without considering the said explanation, the fourth respondent is trying to interfere with their possession over the said land. In those circumstances, they filed the present Writ Petitions.

It is clear from the above chronology of events that in W.P.No.8036 of 2018 the show cause notice was dated 02.01.2018, but the petitioner therein states that it was served on him after more than one month. This fact has to be verified. But, the petitioners state that they have already submitted their explanation to the said show cause notices. The date of submission of explanation is not available.

In the circumstances, if no final orders are passed by the fourth respondent as on today, the fourth respondent is restrained from interfering with the possession of the land of the petitioners without passing the final orders. If final orders were already passed or going to be passed, the same shall be served on the petitioners and the same shall not be implemented for a period of thirty days in order to enable the petitioners to seek appropriate remedies against such final order. The Writ Petitions are, accordingly, disposed of. The miscellaneous petitions pending in these Writ Petitions, if any, shall stand closed. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________________ (A.RAMALINGESWARA RAO, J) 13.03.2018 vs
