THE HONBLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.12427 of 2008 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the notification issued under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act (for short, “the Act”) dated 12.5.2008 for acquiring the petitioner’s land situated in Sy.No.91-3, Dandamudi village, Ponnur Mandal, Guntur district as arbitrary and illegal. It is primarily contended by the petitioner that since he is a small farmer, the respondents ought not to have acquired the said land for providing house sites to the weaker sections. It is also contended that suitable alternative land is available for the said purpose. All these objections require enquiry proposed to be conducted under Section 5-A of the Act. As could be seen from the impugned notification, the District Collector had authorized the Revenue Divisional Officer, Tenali, to conduct enquiry under Section 5-A of the Act. In the circumstances, without expressing any opinion as to the tenability of the objections raised by the petitioner, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition granting leave and liberty to the petitioner to raise all the objections before the Enquiry Officer in the enquiry that may be conducted under Section 5-A of the Act. However, having regard to the fact that under the impugned notification, the last date for submitting objections is fixed as 17.6.2008, the petitioner is permitted to submit his objections within 10 days from today. If any such objections are submitted within the time specified above, the respondents shall receive the same, consider and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. No costs. 17.06.2008.
