Smt. M. Swarna Latha , Suneetha, v. State Of Andhra Pradesh,

IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT HYDERABAD

FOR THE STATE OF TELANGANA & THE STATE OF ANDHRA PRADESH (Special Original Jurisdiction) THURSDAY, THE SIXTEENTH DAY OF JULY TWO THOUSAND AND FIFTEEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION No. 22054 of 2015 BETWEEN M.Swarna Latha ... PETITIONER AND The State of Andhra Pradesh, Rep. by its Principal Secretary (Department of Revenue), A.P. Secretariat Building, Hyderabad and others. ...RESPONDENTS The Court made the following:

ORDER:- Heard.

2. Petitioner claims that she is entitled to protection in the form of a notice and appropriate enquiry before any action is taken against her. Petitioner places reliance on the proceedings of the District Collector, Chittoor, dated 29.09.2014, Ex.P1. Said proceeding appeared to have been issued by the District Collector on the report and note put up by the Revenue Divisional Officer and the Tahsildar Said order, however, clearly states as follows: "Hence the Tahsildar, Srikalahasti is directed to take appropriate action against the encroacher/fake pattadar if he is in illegal possession of the land

under the provisions of A.P. Assigned Lands (POT) Act, 1977." -3. It is evident that after the said order of the District Collector, no further steps are taken either by the Tahsildar or by the Revenue Divisional Officer. Hence, at this stage, I do not see any reason or cause of action for the petitioner to approach this court by the present writ petition and as and when petitioner is given any notice, she is free to submit her objections thereto, which shall be considered by the authority.

With the above direction, writ petition is disposed of. As a sequel, the miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed. There shall be no order as to costs.
