C.S. Chandrika , Chandrakala v. The State Of Andhra Pradesh, Rep. By Its Principal
THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE CHALLA KODANDA RAM WRIT PETITON No. 37320 OF 2016 ORDER:
Heard learned counsel for the petitioner; learned Government Pleader for Municipal Administration appearing for the first respondent and Md.Saleem, learned Standing Counsel for the second respondent.
2. Challenging the notice issued by the second respondent‐ Rayadurgam Municpality dated 26.10.2016, petitioner approached this court by this writ petition.
3. It is the case of the petitioner that under the impugned notice the respondent directed her to remove the alleged construction of compound wall at Ward No.5, Sy.No.230‐A1, admeasuring12‐60 sq.mts, of Rayadurgam Municipality, stating that it is on the road margin. As a matter of fact, petitioner has constructed the said compound wall only on her own land and the respondents are the one who made a drainage in the petitioner's land. Petitioner also submits that no notice was given directing the petitioner to remove the alleged encroachment thereby violating the principles of natural justice.

and that as and when she submits her explanation, the same will be considered by the respondents.

Considering the fair submission on behalf of the second respondent‐Municipality, petitioner shall treat the notice dated 26.10.2016 issued by the second respondent as a show cause notice and submit her explanation within fifteen days from today, which shall be considered and appropriate orders be passed thereon by the second respondent within two weeks thereafter.
