SRI.B.S.SWATHY KUMAR SMT.P.A.ANITHA SMT.S.MEERA RESPONDENT(S): --------------- 1.STATE OF KERALA, REPRESENTED BY THE SECRETARY, PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT, SECRETARIAT, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM-695 001. 2. THE LAND ACQUISITION OFFICER/ DEPUTY COLLECTOR, LAND ACQUISITION, OFFICE OF COLLECTORATE THIRUVANANTHAPURAM-695 043. BY G.P.SRI.P.NARAYANAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 08/07/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------ W.P.(C) No.21149 OF 2010 ------------------------------- Dated this the 8th day of July, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner challenges Ext.P1 notice issued under Rule 7 (2) of the Land Acquisition Rules. The petitioner's contention is that due to political influence and extraneous consideration, the respondents are acquiring land in a discriminatory manner, affecting the petitioner. 2. I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition, since Ext.P1 notice was preceded by a notification under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act and the petitioner had an opportunity to file objections to the said notification before the appropriate authority. The petitioner has no case that the petitioner has filed any objection against that notification. Without filing objection against 4(1) notification, I do not think that the petitioner can challenge Ext.P1 notice issued under Rule 7(2) of the Land Acquisition Rules. In the above circumstances, I do not find any merit in this writ petition and accordingly, the same is dismissed. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE acd
