It is the case of the petitioner that the lands inherited by her situate amidst the lands sought to be acquired and without seeking to acquire her lands, the respondents are proceeding to acquire other lands, despite a representation dated 14.02.2008 given by her to include her lands also in the proposed acquisition. Hence, the petitioner seeks appropriate directions in this regard. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Land Acquisition. A perusal of the affidavit field in support of this writ petition, shows that the petitioner inherited the lands admeasuring Ac.1.00 in Sy.No.116/1 and Acs.1.50 cents in Sy.No.78/2 of Mangalam village. When the notification issued under Section 4(1) of the Act is looked at, a total extent of Acs.60.36 cents of land in various survey numbers situated at Mangalam village is proposed to be acquired for providing house sites under Indiramma Scheme, but the survey numbers mentioned by the petitioner in her affidavit did not find place. She filed this writ petition on a mere presumption that the respondents might have omitted her lands by mistake or treating her lands as Government lands. Therefore, this Court sees no merits in this writ petition. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed at the stage of admission. However, the respondents may consider the representation of the petitioner dated 14.02.2008, if the same is not yet considered, and pass appropriate orders, in accordance with law. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 24.03.2008 Note: Furnish C.C. in three days. (B/o) sh .....
