HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.10358 of 2007 04.02.2008 Between: G.Dhana Koti Reddy … Petitioner AND The District Collector, West Godavari and others … Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.10358 of 2007 ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a writ of mandamus to invalidate notification, dated 27.04.2007 issued under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short ‘the Act’), whereby an extent of Ac.2.80 cents of land situated in Survey No.195/part of Appalarajugudem Village, T.Narasapuram Mandal, West Godavari District is proposed to be acquired. At the hearing, Sri J.Sreenivasa Rao, learned counsel for the petitioner fairly conceded that the main issue raised in this writ petition, namely, validity of proposal to acquire agricultural land without its conversion for non-agricultural use is covered by judgment, dated 28.12.2007, passed by this Court in Writ Petition Nos.18881 of 2006 and batch, wherein a similar contention has been rejected. In view of the fact that the enquiry under Section 5A of the Act is not dispensed with, I deem it appropriate to relegate the petitioner to the respondent giving him an opportunity to raise all the objections, which are legally sustainable including those raised in this writ petition and pressed into service by the learned counsel for the petitioner at the hearing. In the event the respondents reject the objections of the petitioner, he is left free to avail the appropriate remedies available to him in law. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. The petitioner is permitted to file objections within a period of four (4) weeks from today and on such filing of the objections, the respondents shall give the petitioner an opportunity of personal hearing before seeking to proceed further with the proposed acquisition. As a sequel to disposal of main petition, interim order, dated 16.05.2007 is vacated, WPMP.No.13079 of 2007 is dismissed. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 4th FEBRUARY, 2008. kvni
