THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE P.S.NARAYANA WRIT PETITION No.439 of 2008 ORDER: Heard Sri V. Sai Kumar, learned counsel representing the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Land Acquisition. The petitioner filed the present writ petition seeking for a Writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in acquiring the land to an extent of Ac.0.30 cents in survey No.200/3 and an extent of Acs.2.94 in survey No.186/3 situated at G.Vemavaram Village, Tallarevu Mandal, East Godavari District, without following the procedure prescribed under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, as illegal, void and opposed to Articles 14, 19, 21 and 300-A of the Constitution of India. He also sought for a consequential direction to the respondents not to interfere with his peaceful possession and enjoyment of the land in question without following the due process of law and to pass such other suitable orders. Several factual details had been narrated in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition. The main grievance of the petitioner is that the interference of the respondents with the land in question is unauthorized since the respondents had not followed any procedure whatsoever. It is needless to say that the respondents are bound to follow the procedure in the event of the respondents being interested in acquiring the land in question. In the light of the same, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents not to interfere with the petitioner’s enjoyment of the subject matter of the writ petition unless and until due procedure is followed. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________ P.S.NARAYANA, J Dated:08.01.2008 Note: Issue CC in two days. (B/o) Pnb/ghn
