The key difference between movable and immovable encroachment procedures is that for immovable encroachments, The Hearing Officer decides and issues the Removal Order. This highlights the formal, quasi-judicial process required for immovable property, involving a detailed hearing, examination of evidence, and a reasoned decision by a designated officer to ensure due process and protect property rights.

• The EO (Enforcement Officer) typically handles movable encroachments and does not have the authority to issue final removal orders for immovable ones.
• A show-cause notice is always issued for immovable encroachments to allow the occupier to present their case.
• The time to vacate for immovable encroachments is 15 days, not 3 days, which is typically for movable encroachments.
