JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.12091 of 2007 ORDER:- At the interlocutory stage, the writ petition is taken up for disposal with the consent of the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Land Acquisition. In this writ petition, the petitioner questioned notification dated 18.5.2007 issued under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act 1894 (for short “the Act”). The sole ground on which the acquisition proceedings are assailed is that the lands, which are proposed to be acquired are agricultural lands and without their conversion for being used for non- agricultural purposes under the provisions of Andhra Pradesh Agricultural Land (Conversion for Non-Agricultural Purposes) Act, 2006, the proposed acquisition is bad. This Court rejected a similar contention by order dated 28.12.2007 in W.P.No.18881 of 2006 and Batch. In view of the same, this writ petition is dismissed with the direction that the detailed reasons contained therein shall form part of this order. As the petitioner has not filed objections on the ground that he was contemplating to file this writ petition, respondent No.2 is directed to give an opportunity of filing objections and personal hearing to the petitioner before completing the enquiry under Section 5A of the Act. Subject to the above observation, the writ petition is dismissed. ___________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Date:18.01.2008 mdaa
