This writ petition is filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India seeking a Writ of Mandamus declaring the action of second respondent in issuing notice dated 09.12.2016 to the petitioner, as if he encroached the Gramakantakam poramboke land, as illegal and arbitrary. 2.

Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj, representing the first respondent, Sri G.Seshadri, learned standing counsel for Gram Panchayat, representing the second respondent and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue, representing the third respondent.

3.

A perusal of the record reveals that the second respondent issued a notice to the petitioner on 09.12.2016 as if the petitioner encroached an extent of 16.5 sq. yards of land in Sy.No.58-2 (Door No.2-75/1) of Undavalli village, Tadepalli Mandal, Guntur District. The petitioner herein submitted his explanation to the said notice on 20.12.2016. For one reason or other, the second respondent did not pass any orders on the representation of the petitioner.

In view of the submission made by both counsel, this Court is not inclined to express any opinion touching the merits of the main case.
