THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.11179 of 2007 ORDER: The Government in its Endowment Department published a notification, dated 19.05.2007 under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act (for short ‘the Act’) proposing to acquire Ac.23.60 cents of land in Survey Nos.316, 318 and 326 of Dorasanipadu Village, Dwaraka Tirumala Mandal, East Godavari District. The petitioner is a social welfare center, which claims to have purchased some of the lands notified for acquisition. The petitioner challenges the notification on several grounds. The respondents filed a counter affidavit. It is stated that the writ petition is pre-mature and the objections if any can be raised in the course of enquiry under Section 5-A of the Act. The litigation that was initiated by the vendors of the petitioner is also referred to. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Government Pleader for Land Acquisition and the learned Standing Counsel for the Temple. This Court would certainly have entertained the writ petition, had the enquiry under Section 5-A of the Act been dispensed with. In the instant case, the notification itself indicates that such an enquiry would be held. The petitioner can put forward all his objections in the course of enquiry under Section 5-A of the Act. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of, leaving it open to the petitioner to raise its objections and contentions vis-à-vis the notification in the enquiry that may be held under Section 5-A of the Act. There shall be no order as to costs. __________ 03.06.2010 JSU THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.11179 of 2007 Date: 03.06.2010 JSU
