HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V. ESWARAIAH W.P. No. 10778 of 2005 DATED: 10.03.2011 Between: Moti Bai and four others .. Petitioners And 1. The State of Andhra Pradesh 2. The District Collector .. Respondents O R D E R:- The petitioners assert that they have been in peaceful possession and enjoyment of the dry/patta land in an extent of Ac.14.14 guntas in S.No.331 situated in Poppalaguda village, Rajendranagar Mandal, Ranga Reddy District for a long time. Now, it is their main grievance that the 2nd respondent-District Collector, without conducting enquiry as contemplated under Section 5-A of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short “the Act), issued Notification, dated 18.10.2003 which was published in Andhra Pradesh Gazette on 20.10.2003 seeking to acquire the land in question. Hence, the petitioners have filed the present writ petition seeking a Mandamus to declare impugned Notification dated 18.10.2003 as arbitrary and illegal, and consequently set aside the same. The 2nd respondent-District Collector has filed counter affidavit stating that as per the requisition of Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation Limited (A.P.I.I.C.), vide Letter No. ZM/SZ/DB/APIIC/FDC/NG/2001, dated 22.07.2004, an extent of Ac.04.00 guntas in Sy.No.331 was withdrawn from acquisition, vide Gazette Notification No.RR11, dated 21.03.2006. Again, as per the letter No.ZM/SZ/DB/APIIC/FDC/NG/2001, dated 16.01.2006 of A.P.I.I.C., the remaining extent of Ac.10.14 guntas of land in Sy.No.331 was withdrawn from the acquisition proceedings on 28.01.2006, Having heard the learned counsel for both the parties and having regard to the specific averments made in the counter affidavit that the entire extent of Ac.14.14 guntas of land was already withdrawn from acquisition proceedings, nothing survives for further adjudication of this writ petition. Hence, the writ petition is closed. No order as to costs. ________________ V. ESWARAIAH, J 10.03.2011 bcj
