Kaliki Sri Hari Reddy, v. The State Of Andhra Pradesh

HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V.AFZULPURKAR W.P.No.21574 of 2015 ORDER:

Heard.

The petitioner claims that he has purchased the land admeasuring Ac.0-50 cents in Sy.No.593-4 and 593-6 of Kavali Village and Mandal, SPSR Nellore District vide registered sale deed, dated 06-03-2013. The petitioner also claims that he was issued pattadar pass books and title deeds in his favour and his name was also entered in the revenue records. The petitioner is aggrieved by issuance of notice by the 4th respondent Under Rule 3 of A.P.Assigned Lands (Prohibition of Transfers) Rules, 2007 on 11-06-2015. The petitioner states that he has received the notice on 01-07-2014 and apprehending dispossession, the present writ petition is filed inter alia contending that the notice does not contain any particulars and while column '4' states that it is a surplus land. The proforma notice states that the petitioner is a transferee of assigned land.

I am not inclined to entertain the writ petition as the petitioner was only given a show-cause notice asking him to submit his reply within 15 days. It is open for the petitioner to submit his reply and raise all his contentions on or before 27-072015, so that the 4th respondent is in a position to appreciate the contentions of the petitioner and then take final decision in the matter. Since the petitioner apprehends dispossession, I deem it appropriate to direct the 4th respondent not to take any coercive steps pending consideration of the petitioner's reply and passing of appropriate reasoned order as observed hereunder. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs.

Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this writ petition shall stand closed.
