THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION No :1751 of 2008 DATED:01-02-2008 BETWEEN: Ummenthala Jamuna. ..... PETITIONER AND The District Collector, Karimnagar District & another. .....RESPONDENTS ORDER: Heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for the respondents. 2. Petitioner seeks a writ of mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in proposing to acquire the petitioner’s agricultural lands admeasuring Ac.9.17 guntas in Sy.Nos.136/A, 136/B, 139 and 140/B situated in Valechala village, Ramadugu mandal, Karimnagar District without considering the Government lands situated in Rekurthy and Kothapet villages of Karimnagar District for the purpose of providing house sites to the residents of Karimnagar Municipal Corporation under ‘Indiramma Urban Housing’ Programme, as illegal, and arbitrary. 3. The only grievance of the petitioner is that without following the due process of law and without acquiring the land of the petitioner admeasuring Ac.9.17 guntas in Sy.No.136/A, 136/B, 139 and 140/B situated at Valechala village, Ramadugu mandal, Karimnagar District respondents are proposing to allot house sites in favour of the landless poor. Insofar as the other contentions that there are other Government lands available for the purpose of allotting house sites for the landless poor, I am not inclined to express any opinion as it is always open for the petitioner to take such objection during the enquiry proceedings as and when the land acquisition proceedings have been initiated, but however, having regard to the facts and circumstances, even without acquiring the land under the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act, petitioner cannot be dispossessed. 4. Accordingly, Writ Petition is disposed of directing the respondents not to dispossess the petitioner without following due process of law. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________ V.ESWARAIAH,J 01st February, 2008. Note: Furnish C.C. of the order within two days. B/o Tsy
