HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.8765 of 2007 04.02.2008 Between: Chakkapalli Pakeer Rao … Petitioner AND The Government of Andhra Pradesh and others … Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.8765 of 2007 ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a writ of mandamus to set aside notification, dated 20.10.2006 issued under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short ‘the Act’), whereby an extent of Ac.3.00 cents of land situated in Survey Nos.142/1 and 142/2 of Gurajanapalli Village, Karapa Mandal, East Godavari District is proposed to be acquired. Heard Sri P.Ravi Shanker, learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Land Acquisition. At the hearing, Sri P.Ravi Shanker, learned counsel for the petitioner fairly conceded that the main issue raised in this writ petition, namely, validity of proposal to acquire agricultural land without its conversion for non-agricultural use is covered by judgment, dated 28.12.2007, passed by this Court in Writ Petition Nos.18881 of 2006 and batch, wherein a similar contention has been rejected. The learned counsel for the petitioner stated that in spite of availability of Government lands, the respondents are proposed to acquire the land of the petitioner. A perusal of the counter affidavit shows that enquiry under Section 5A of the Act was conducted after issuance of notice to the petitioner on 30.11.2006. It is further stated that respondent No.2 having considered the objections of the petitioner, rejected the same vide his order, dated 04.04.2007 and the same was communicated to the petitioner by respondent No.3 vide proceedings, dated 09.04.2007. It is also stated that notices for award enquiry were issued under Sections 9(1) and 10 and 9(3) and 10 on 01.06.2007 and at that stage, the petitioner filed this writ petition. The petitioner has not filed any reply affidavit controverting the contents of the counter affidavit. Since the petitioner failed to question order, dated 04.04.2007 passed by respondent No.2 rejecting his objections, this Court is not inclined to entertain the objections being raised by the petitioner in this writ petition. For the above-mentioned reasons, the writ petition is dismissed. As a sequel to dismissal of main petition, interim order, dated 12.06.2007 is vacated, WPMP.No.11224 of 2007 is dismissed and WVMP.No.2649 of 2007 is disposed of as infructuous.
