THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.20967 of 2005 Dated:11.02.2011 Between: Khaja Mohiuddin, And others. ...Petitioners And The District Collector, Ranga Reddy District & Land Acquisition Officer, Lakdikapool, Hyderabad, And another. ...Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.20967 of 2005 ORDER: This writ petition is filed by the owners of lands situated at Kismathpur Village of Rajendranagar Mandal in Ranga Reddy District. The challenge is to the notification issued under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (the Act) proposing to acquire the petitioners’ land for public purpose ‘development of township and future projects’. Inter alia, it is urged that the purpose is vague and therefore illegal. Counsel for the petitioners, Government Pleader for Revenue (Land Acquisition) and the Standing Counsel for Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority, do not dispute that similar notification for acquiring other lands has been invalidated by this Court in Gajjela Narasimha Reddy v. Collector, Ranga Reddy District[1]. The issues raised herein are similar and therefore the above mentioned judgment squarely covers this case. Following the same, this writ petition is also allowed, and the impugned notification in this writ petition is quashed. This order, however, shall not preclude the respondents from initiating the proceedings afresh in accordance with law. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 11.02.2011 vs [1] 2008 (5) ALD 302
