The petitioner's grievance is that they made a representation dated 16.06.2025 to the 2"'^ respondent regarding illegal encroachments over the land belonging to the Endowment Department, which is being used as a passage by the general public; however, no action has been taken. 3. It is contended that the petitioner is owner and possessor of the house property bearing H.No.26-25-11 in Ward No.17, Block No.15, Town Survey No.420, situated at Jendachettu Bazar, Nagarampalem, Guntur. The west side of the petitioner’s land belongs to the Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple. It is stated that the illegal encroachments have been detailed in the representation. It is contended that the encroachers have not only occupied the land but have also caused obstruction to the passage. As an adjacent owner of the property he would be directly affected by the said unauthorised encroachments. The petitioner also made a representation to the Municipal Corporation, Guntur, but no action could be taken by them as the said land is owned by the temple and is under the control of Endowments Department. Thus, the petitioner requests that a direction be issued to remove illegal encroachments in the said area. Today, when the matter has been taken up for consideration, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Endowments, on oral instructions, submits that there are as many as 121 persons who are illegally occupying the said area. In the said regard, action has been taken up by the Endowments Department for their eviction. The temple has approached the Endowment Tribunal. The temple authorities have also initiated eviction proceedings against the persons who are in illegal occupation. He further submitted that that appropriate orders would be passed on the representation of the petitioner dated 16.06.2025. 4. 5. Having regard to the same, the Writ Petition is disposed of by directing the 2"'^ respondent to pass appropriate orders on the representation dated 16.06.2025 of the petitioner, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel, miscellaneous applications pending, if any, shall stand closed. Sd/- K SRINIVASA RAJU ASSISTANT REGISTRAR v //TRUE COPY// SECTION OFFICER To, 1.
