At the hearing, learned counsel for the petitioner fairly submitted that the issue raised in this writ petition is squarely covered by judgment dated 28.12.2007 of this Court in Writ Petition No.18881 of 2006 and batch, wherein challenge to acquisition of agricultural lands without conversion was rejected. In view of the same, the writ petition is dismissed. The respondents are directed to give an opportunity of personal hearing to the petitioner before proceeding further with the proposed acquisition, if enquiry under Section 5A of the Act is not already completed. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, WPMP.No.3462 of 2007 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 28.01.2008 ES
