Sri Y.Koteswara Rao, learned Standing counsel, on written instructions of the Panchayat Secretary dated 29.11.2025, would contend that the petitioners had obtained permission for establishment of poultry farm with two (02) sheds only, whereas they had erected thirty (30) sheds and therefore, the authorities intend to take action in accordance with law.

The petitioners are alleging that the authorities are forcing them to close the poultry farm established by obtaining necessary permissions, without following due process of law. Whereas according to the panchayat authorities, the petitioners had obtained permission for establishment of poultry farm with two (02) sheds only, but they had erected as many as 30 sheds and hence the authorities would take steps in accordance with law. 7. Since the authorities undertook to follow due process of law, without going into merits of the matter, this writ petition can be disposed of. 8. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of, directing the authorities concerned not to interfere with the poultry farm business of the petitioners, except under due process of law. There shall be no order as to costs. Pending miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall stand closed. ____________________________ JUSTICE RAVI CHEEMALAPATI DATED: 1ST DAY OF DECEMBER, 2025.
