THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 30599 of 2010 O R D E R: This Writ Petition is filed seeking a mandamus to declare the action of the 1st respondent in not passing necessary orders for withdrawing the land of the petitioner from acquisition, admeasuring Ac.1.72 cents in Survey No. 194/1, Ac.0.48 cents in Survey No. 194/2, Ac.0.67 cents in Survey No. 194/4 and Ac.0.86 cents in Survey No. 194/5A situate in R. Mallavaram Village, Renigunta Mandal, Chittoor District. The aforesaid land of the petitioner was notified under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 and a notification under Section 4(1) of the Act was issued. At the first instance, the petitioner has questioned the said acquisition in Writ Petition No. 22683 of 2007 and it is stated that there is an interim order of status quo passed by this Court and that the writ Petition is still pending. In this Writ Petition, it is the grievance of the petitioner that after conducting enquiry under Section 5-A of the Act, the Land Acquisition Officer-cum-Revenue Divisional Officer, Tirupati, has sent a report to the Collector, Chittoor in proceedings ROC No. F/1039/2007, dated 01.04.2008 stating that alternative Governments lands are available in the village, as such, proposals were sent for withdrawal of the petitioner’s patta lands. It is also stated that withdrawal proposals were sent in prescribed form under Section 48(1) of the Act. When the matter has come up on earlier occasion, it was adjourned to enable the learned Government Pleader for Land Acquisition to obtain instructions. Today, on instructions, it is submitted by the learned Government Pleader that the proposals were sent by the Land Acquisition Officer for withdrawal, but final withdrawal notification was not issued, in view of the orders of status quo granted by this Court in Writ Petition No. 22683 of 2007. At this point of time, it is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner will undertake to withdraw Writ Petition No. 22683 of 2007. In view of the submission made, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the Writ Petition with a direction to the respondents to take appropriate steps for issuing notification, under Section 48 of the Act for withdrawing the notified lands from acquisition, subject to withdrawal of Writ Petition No. 22683 of 2007 by the petitioner. Subject to the above directions, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs. ---------------------------- (R. SUBHASH REDDY, J) 14th December 2010 ksld
