THE HON'BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 21456 OF 2011 Dated: 08.08.2011 Between: Savanapalli Narayana and another ..... PETITIONERS AND The Government of Andhra Pradesh and 4 others .....RESPONDENTS The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.21456 OF 2011 O R D E R : The petitioners herein claim to be the owners of Ac.7.16 guntas of land situated in survey No.770 of Rudrangi Village, Chandurthi Mandal, Karimnagar District. The said land was sought to be acquired in the year 2008 for submergence under Sripada Yellampalli Project Stage-II, Phase-I. However, the proceedings stood lapsed as no award was made within the statutory period. Apprehending that the respondents may initiate fresh proceedings for acquisition of their lands for the very same purpose, the petitioners got issued a legal notice dated 08.11.2010 bringing to the notice of the respondents that the lands in question are not required for the purpose of the submergence under Sripada Yellampalli Project and that without conducting proper survey, the said lands were included in the earlier notification. Thus, the respondents were requested to make a fresh survey with the assistance of the technical experts so as to ascertain whether the lands in question actually fall within the submergence area. Aggrieved by the inaction on the part of the respondents in considering the petitioners’ request for such survey, the present writ petition is filed. The learned Government Pleader for Land Acquisition on instructions stated that as of today no fresh notification is issued for acquisition of the lands in question and even if there is any proposal for such acquisition, before publishing the notification under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, the necessary survey and enquiry would be made by the respondents and the notification would be approved only if the lands in question are required for the public purpose. Having regard to the statement of the learned Government Pleader, no further enquiry is necessary and the Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of leaving it open to the petitioners to avail the appropriate remedy as available under law for redressal of their grievance, in case, necessity thereof arises. No costs. ​ ____________ G. ROHINI, J Date: 08.08.2011 Note: Issue CC in one week (B/o) Ivd
