HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY Writ Petition No.5957 of 2008 Date: August 23, 2011 Between: Gorsa Babu Rao, S/o.Suryanarayana, Hindu, aged about 53 years, Business, H.No. 3-69, Saradanagar, Narasipatnam,Visakhapatnam District … Petitioners And The District Collector, Visakhapatnam District, Visakhapatnam and another … Respondents Order: This writ petition is filed questioning the notification issued under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, vide proceedings No.261/2007/E2/SW, dated 01.12.2007, published in Andhra Jyothi newspaper, seeking to acquire the land admeasuring a total extent of Ac.15.33 cents situated in various survey numbers in Gurandarapalem village, Narsipatnam Mandal, Visakhapatnam District, which includes the land of the petitioner, for the purpose of providing house sites to weaker sections, as illegal and arbitrary. Mainly, it is the case of the petitioner that in the land in question there are Casurina and Eucalyptus trees and the same is not suitable for house-sites. It is also his case that enquiry as contemplated under Section 5-A of the Act is not dispensed with and no notice is also issued in the enquiry. The 2nd respondent-Revenue Divisional Officer, Narsipatnam Division, has filed counter-affidavit on behalf of the respondents denying the allegations of the petitioner. It is stated that enquiry under Section 5-A of the Act was conducted on 26.05.2008 and the petitioner has also attended the enquiry, but did not submit any objections for the acquisition. When the matter is taken up, learned Government Pleader for Land Acquisition appearing on behalf of the respondents submits that enquiry under Section 5-A of the Act is not completed and is pending as on today. Though it is the case of the petitioner that that there are tenable objections for the proposed acquisition, in view of the fact that enquiry under Section 5-A of the Act is still pending, there is no necessity to examine the said issue at this stage by this Court. If the petitioner has any objections for the proposed acquisition, it is for him to put forth the same before the enquiring authority. In the circumstances, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition permitting the petitioner to file his objections before the enquiring authority, for the proposed acquisition, within six weeks from today and participate in the enquiry. Further, there shall be a direction to the respondents not to take any steps for dispossession of the petitioner from the land in question till enquiry is completed and appropriate orders are passed. Writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. ___________________ (R.SUBHASH REDDY, J) August 23, 2011 MRR
