IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH, AT HYDERABAD HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S. RAO W.P. No. 20358 OF 2005 Date: 16.09.2005 BETWEEN: Abdul Aziz …. PETITIONER Vs. Special Deputy Collector, Land Acquisition, International Airport, R.R. District at Lakdikapul, Hyderabad. …. RESPONDENT HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S. RAO WRIT PETITION NO. 20358 OF 2005 ORDER: The petitioner claims to be the owner of house No.4.32 (new 3-107) admeasuring 606.6 Sq. yards situated at Galwaguda Village, Shamshabad Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. The said property was acquired for international Airport, and as per the rehabilitation scheme of the Government the petitioner was issued a house-site patta at Galwaguda Village, on 29.4.2004. However, by impugned order dated 4.6.2004 the respondent cancelled the house-site patta issued to the petitioner based on the report submitted by Urban Development Revenue Inspector, Galwaguda. It is alleged that the allotment made in favour of the petitioner was irregular. As rightly pointed out by the learned counsel for the petitioner, the petitioner was not given any notice nor afforded any reasonable opportunity before taking extreme action of cancellation of house-site patta. Therefore, the impugned order is in violation of principles of natural justice. This position is not denied by the learned Assistant Government Pleader, who is also heard. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of at the admission stage and the impugned proceedings of the respondent dated 4.6.2004 are set aside and the matter is remitted to the respondent for fresh disposal, after giving a notice and opportunity to the petitioner. ______________ (V.V.S.
