JUDGMENT

The petitioners challenge Ext.P24 hearing notice issued by the 3rd respondent to the 1st petitioner.

2. In Ext.P24 notice, it is alleged that the 1 st petitioner has

encroached into the puramboke land. The 1 st petitioner was directed to appear before the 3rd respondent within three days from the date of receipt of the notice with necessary documents and to show cause why she shall not be evicted from the puramboke land.

3. I have heard Sri.G.P.Shinod, the learned counsel

appearing for the petitioners, Sri.B.S.Syamanthak, the learned Government Pleader as well as Sri.K.V.Manoj Kumar, the learned Standing Counsel appearing for respondent Nos. 2 and 3.

4. The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the

3rd respondent has absolutely no jurisdiction to issue Ext.P24 notice. The learned counsel further submits that even though it is stated in the Ext.P24 notice that the alleged encroachment into the puramboke land by the 1 st petitioner was found in the survey ..4.. conducted by the Taluk Surveyor, no notice was given to the petitioners before conducting the survey. It is further submitted that, the details of the said survey or the report or plan were also not furnished to the petitioners. According to the learned counsel, those details and records are necessary to give an explanation to Ext.P24 notice. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioners as well as the learned Government Pleader and the learned Standing Counsel, this writ petition is disposed of as follows:

(i) The 3rd respondent is directed to furnish all the records relating to the survey conducted by the Taluk Surveyor, within a week from today to the petitioners.

(ii) The 3rd respondent shall fix a date of hearing after one week of the receipt of the supply of the documents mentioned above.

(iii) On the date of hearing, the petitioners shall appear before the 3rd respondent and furnish their explanation to Ext.P24 notice. ..5..

(iv) The 3rd respondent shall thereafter take a

decision, in accordance with law, after hearing the petitioners. Sd/- DR. KAUSER EDAPPAGATH JUDGE APA ..6..
