THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 21245 of 1996 DATED: 21.02.2006 Between: A.Vasantha Kumar Reddy and another. … PETITIONERS AND The District Collector, Nellore and others. … RESPONDENTS ORDER: The petitioners challenge the proceedings initiated by the respondents, for acquiring their lands in Survey No.321/(1), 321/1A, 322 and 313 of Inamadugu Village, Kovur Mandal, Nellore District. Though several contentions have been urged by the petitioners, as well as by their counsel, from a perusal of the counter affidavit filed on behalf of the respondents, it is evident that the possession of the lands, in question, was taken, and an award was passed on 22.04.1996. In that view of the matter, it becomes impermissible for this Court to examine the validity of the Notification issued under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. Hence, the Writ Petition is dismissed, leaving it open to the petitioners to work out their remedies, vis-à-vis the award, in accordance with law. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 21.02.2006 Jsu
