Recording the said statement made by the respondent in the counter for which no reply has been filed and the land in question has not at all been acquired, the petitioner is not entitled for any relief and hence, the writ petition is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________ V.ESWARAIAH, J. Date:18.04.2008 Ccm To 1. 2 CCs 2. 2 CD copies.
