He submitted application for assignment of the<\/p>\n<p>Government land under the Land Assignment Act which was<\/p>\n<p>dismissed by the Government which according to the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner was without affording an opportunity of being<\/p>\n<p>heard to the petitioner insofar as after adjourning the case<\/p>\n<p>for hearing, fresh date of hearing was not notified to the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner. Challenging that order, the petitioner filed W.P.<\/p>\n<p>(C) No.5632\/2008 which is pending before this court. In<\/p>\n<p>that writ petition, originally there was an order of stay of<\/p>\n<p>dispossession of the petitioner from the land.                 On<\/p>\n<p>28.08.2008 this court vacated the interim order in view of<\/p>\n<p>the averments in the counter affidavit filed by the Tahsildar,<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C)No. 29866 of 2008<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                    -2-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Kollam. According to the petitioner, on a wrong premise<\/p>\n<p>that by vacating that interim order this court directed the<\/p>\n<p>Government to take possession of the Government land, on<\/p>\n<p>29.08.2008, the respondents took forcible possession of the<\/p>\n<p>property.       The petitioner is aggrieved by the same.<\/p>\n<p>According to the petitioner, this is a highhanded action<\/p>\n<p>insofar as this court had not directed to take possession of<\/p>\n<p>the property and the petitioner was not given a reasonable<\/p>\n<p>opportunity in the matter. The petitioner further contends<\/p>\n<p>that as is evidenced by Ext.P10 notice issued to the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner under the Kerala Land Conservancy Act, the<\/p>\n<p>respondents had initiated proceedings under the Land<\/p>\n<p>Conservancy Act only in respect of 28.58 ares and actually<\/p>\n<p>by Ext.P14 mahazar prepared for taking possession of the<\/p>\n<p>land, 45.68 ares of land has been taken possession of. It is<\/p>\n<p>under the above circumstances the petitioner has filed this<\/p>\n<p>writ petition seeking the following reliefs:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>      &#8220;a)   issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ,<br \/>\n            order or direction directing the respondents to restore<br \/>\n            possession of the land taken from the petitioner as per<br \/>\n            Ext.P14 Mahzar to the petitioner immediately.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>W.P.(C)No. 29866 of 2008<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                       -3-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>      2.    A counter affidavit has been filed by the<\/p>\n<p>3rd respondent wherein the contention taken is that the<\/p>\n<p>entire 45.68 ares of land is Government land and the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner had encroached into the same.<\/p>\n<p>      3.    I have considered the rival contentions in detail.<\/p>\n<p>      4.    This court passed the following interim order in<\/p>\n<p>I.A. No.13895\/2008 on 12.11.2008 which is self explanatory:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>      &#8220;I heard Sri. T. Krishnanunni, learned Senior Counsel for the<br \/>\n      petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for the<br \/>\n      respondents.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>             2.     Learned counsel for the petitioner refers to<br \/>\n      Ext.P14 mahazar which shows that an extent of 45.68 Ares of<br \/>\n      land has been taken possession of from the petitioner. Mr.<br \/>\n      Krishnanunni refers to Ext.P10 notice issued under the Land<br \/>\n      Conservancy Act which schedules only an extent of 28.5 Ares of<br \/>\n      land.   Learned Government Pleader affirms that the entire<br \/>\n      portion as mentioned under Ext.P14 has been taken possession<br \/>\n      of by the Government from the petitioner. There are several<br \/>\n      buildings\/cottages in the property, it is submitted.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>             3.     In the facts and circumstances of the case , I am of<br \/>\n      the view that no further action should be taken against the<br \/>\n      buildings situated in the property acquired by the respondents.<br \/>\n      Status quo shall be maintained as regards the property taken<br \/>\n      over by the Government as per Ext.P14, until further orders.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>             Additional counter affidavit within three weeks. Post for<br \/>\n      hearing immediately thereafter.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>      5.    As is clear from Ext.P10 notice under the Kerala<\/p>\n<p>Land Conservancy Act and Rules, the petitioner was put on<\/p>\n<p>notice for resumption of only 28.58 ares of land. Even if the<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C)No. 29866 of 2008<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                              -4-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>respondents has a case that the entire 45.68 ares of land is<\/p>\n<p>Government land, the respondents could not have resumed<\/p>\n<p>the entire land without putting the petitioner on notice in<\/p>\n<p>respect of the balance land as well. Of course, I note the<\/p>\n<p>contention of the petitioner that the allegation that the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner has encroached into other Government land also<\/p>\n<p>is incorrect. I am not expected to go into the correctness of<\/p>\n<p>the rival contentions in that regard, since that is not a<\/p>\n<p>subject matter of this writ petition for the present. When<\/p>\n<p>proceedings        have  been  initiated  under   the   Land<\/p>\n<p>Conservancy Act against the petitioner only in respect of<\/p>\n<p>28.58 ares of land in possession of the petitioner, I do not<\/p>\n<p>think that without first initiating proceedings in respect of<\/p>\n<p>the balance properties also by putting the petitioner on<\/p>\n<p>notice with opportunity to file objections and an opportunity<\/p>\n<p>for a hearing the respondents could have proceeded against<\/p>\n<p>the entire 45.68 ares of land and resumed the entire land.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore the respondents are liable to be directed to<\/p>\n<p>restore to the petitioner possession of the land not covered<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C)No. 29866 of 2008<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                -5-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>by Ext.P10 notice.        Accordingly the respondents are<\/p>\n<p>directed to restore possession of 17.10 ares of land not<\/p>\n<p>covered by Ext.P10 to the petitioner within one month from<\/p>\n<p>the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment. The<\/p>\n<p>respondents shall cause measurement of the entire land<\/p>\n<p>after giving prior notice to him regarding the date and time<\/p>\n<p>of measurement and demarcate the 28.58 ares of land<\/p>\n<p>covered by Ext.P10 and restore possession of the balance<\/p>\n<p>17.10 ares out of 45.68 ares to the petitioner. However this<\/p>\n<p>would be without prejudice to the right of the respondents<\/p>\n<p>to take action against the balance 17.10 ares of land also if<\/p>\n<p>they have a case that, that property is also Government land<\/p>\n<p>but only after complying with the procedure prescribed<\/p>\n<p>under the Kerala Land conservancy Act and Rules.<\/p>\n<p>      This writ petition is disposed of as above.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                            Sd\/-\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                   S.
