THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITON No.31682 OF 2011 ORDER: Pursuant to the order of this Court dated 09.12.2011, the Revenue Divisional Officer is present. He would submit that, since the Deputy Tahsildar did not inform him, he could not give necessary instructions to the Learned Government Pleader. He expresses his apology for the lapse and would submit that a counter affidavit has been now filed. His further presence is dispensed with. The relief sought for, in this Writ Petition, is to declare the action of respondents 2 to 4 in trying to dispossess the petitioner from land admeasuring Ac.0.43 cts in R.S. No.17/1A and 17/1B situated at Ramavarappadu village, Vijayawada Rural Mandal of Krishna District, without issuing notice, and without initiating appropriate proceedings, as illegal and arbitrary. The petitioner claims to be in possession of the said extent of land and it is his grievance that he is being dispossessed therefrom forcibly. In the Counter-affidavit filed by the 3rd respondent, it is stated that an extent of Ac.0.34 cts in R.S. No.17/1A, 1B, 3A, 3B of Ramavarappadu village, which is private land, is required for providing a path way; Land Acquisition proceedings were initiated; and draft notification proposals submitted for acquisition of an extent of Ac.0.34 cts of land for providing path way to the house sites in R.S. No.13; and possession of the land would be taken by the Land Acquisition Officer/Revenue Divisional Officer in accordance with law, after paying compensation in terms of the Land Acquisition Act. Since the respondents would now submit that eviction of the petitioner from the land in his possession would only be in accordance with law, I see no reason to grant the relief sought for except to the limited extent of holding that the respondents may acquire the subject land under the Land Acquisition Act, and evict the petitioner therefrom in accordance with law. The Writ Petition stands disposed of. No costs. Date: 19.12.2011 ____________________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J MRKR
