1. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for the respondent Nos.1 to 4 and the learned counsel for the 5th respondent.

2. This writ petition was filed questioning the action of the 4th respondent in issuing the notice dated 16.01.2021 under Section 6 of the Land Encroachment Act, 1905 stating that the petitioner occupied the subject land by way of encroachment in an extent of Ac.5.65 cents in Sy.No.2580 of S.Upparapalli Village, Railway Kodur Mandal and raised cotton crop.

3. The learned Assistant Government Pleader appearing for the respondent Nos.1 to 4 relying upon the counter of the 4th respondent submits that the petitioner filed the present writ petition and also instituted O.S. No.85 of 2020 on the file of Junior Civil Judge, Railway Kodur to obstruct the process of law initiated by the 4th respondent. Since no direction was given by the learned trial court, the petitioner filed this writ petition questioning the above said proceedings of the 4th respondent dated 16.01.2021. Since it is a government land, the said notice was issued.

4. However, the learned counsel appearing for the 5th respondent submits that the subject land is a private land purchased by the 5th respondent and there is a rival litigation between the petitioner and the 5th respondent with respect to the subject land and as such there were civil proceedings initiated between the parties concerned and the same is pending at the stage of S.A.Nos.405 and 406 of 2022 before this Hon’ble Court wherein the official respondents are not the parties in the said appeals.

5. In reply, the learned counsel for the petitioner also submits that the petitioner herein instituted O.S. No.85 of 2020 on the file of Junior Civil Judge, Railway Kodur against the official respondents with respect to the subject land and the same is pending.

6. In turn, the learned counsel for the 5th respondent also submits that the 5th respondent got impleaded in the said suit and the same is pending for consideration. Thus, when the matters are pending in the civil proceedings as stated above, for the purpose of continuing illegal possession, the petitioner in collusion with the 4th respondent got issued the above said impugned notice against the petitioner so as to question the same by way of writ petitions to obtain some interim orders contrary to the orders passed by the respective civil courts.

7. In view of the above said facts and circumstances, as the above said civil proceedings are pending before the appropriate courts at different stages with respect to the subject land between all the parties concerned i.e., the petitioner, the unofficial respondent and the official respondents, it is not just and proper to invoke writ petitions by either of the parties to interdict the civil proceedings that are pending before the above said courts by pursuing parallelly the writ petitions before this court which cannot be encouraged by this court at any cost. Hence, as the above said impugned notice was issued by the 4th respondent the same shall be shown quietus on following the due procedure for which the petitioner and the unofficial respondent No.5 are permitted to submit their explanations within a period of four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of this order. On receipt of those explanations from the petitioners and the 5th respondent, upon verification of the records and the subject land and by taking into consideration of the orders passed by the appropriate courts in the above said civil proceedings, appropriate decision shall be taken by the 4th respondent on its own merits. Since the 4th respondent is also one of the parties claiming the subject land in the said civil proceedings and without giving rise to any other multiple litigations and inviting contradictory orders the said decision shall be taken by the said authority. Bearing it in mind, the scenario of the facts and circumstances of the case and upon consideration of the legal position only the 4th respondent shall pass final orders strictly in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of three (3) months thereafter. The said civil proceedings shall be decided on its own merits. Any interim relief is required, the parties concerned shall approach the concerned civil courts in the above said proceedings.

8. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. Interim order, if any, deemed to have been vacated. There shall be no order as to costs.

                  As a sequel, Miscellaneous Petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed.
