HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.5571 of 2007 04.02.2008 Between: V.Sarada and others … Petitioners AND The Government of Andhra Pradesh and another … Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.5571 of 2007 ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a writ of mandamus to invalidate notification, dated 01.02.2007 issued under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short ‘the Act’), whereby an extent of Ac.6.28 cents of land situated in Survey Nos.286/3 of Padipeta Revenue Village accounts, Tirupati Rural Mandal, Chittoor District is proposed to be acquired. At the hearing, Sri P.Jagadish Chandra Prasad, learned counsel for the petitioners fairly conceded that the main issue raised in this writ petition, namely, validity of proposal to acquire agricultural land without its conversion for non-agricultural use is covered by judgment, dated 28.12.2007, passed by this Court in Writ Petition Nos.18881 of 2006 and batch, wherein a similar contention has been rejected. The learned counsel for the petitioners, however, submitted that without identifying the beneficiaries as per G.O.Ms.No.19, dated 17.01.2007, the proposal to acquire the land is illegal. He also drew my attention to the impugned notification issued under Section 4(1) of the Act, wherein it is stated that the land is required for Indiramma Programme Phase II and also for future requirements and submitted that the expression future requirements is too vague. In view of the fact that the enquiry under Section 5A is not dispensed with, I deem it appropriate to relegate the petitioners to the respondents giving them an opportunity to raise all the objections, which are legally sustainable including those raised in this writ petition and pressed into service by the learned counsel for the petitioners at the hearing. In the event the respondents reject the objections of the petitioners, they are left free to avail the appropriate remedies available to them in law. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. The petitioners are permitted to file objections within a period of four (4) weeks from today and on such filing of the objections, the respondents shall give the petitioners an opportunity of personal hearing before seeking to proceed further with the proposed acquisition. As a sequel to disposal of main petition, interim order, dated 23.03.2007 is vacated, WPMP.No.7099 of 2007 is dismissed. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 4th FEBRUARY, 2008. Note: furnish c.c. in five (5) days. B/o kvni
