THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No.29205 OF 2008 ORDER: The petitioner is aggrieved by the action of respondents in taking over the possession of his land to an extent of Ac.1-00 in survey No.267 of Vanguru Village, Pedavegi Mandal, West Godavari District. In the Writ Petition it has been averred that the respondents have removed 63 Coconut trees and 120 Guava trees, and destroyed the underground pipeline and bridge without authority. The petitioner prays that the respondents be directed to redeliver the possession of the said land to him and to pay him an amount of Rs.7,89,400/- towards damages. Counter has been filed by respondent No.2. In the counter, it has been averred that the petitioner has given his consent that he will not claim compensation for acquisition of his land. It has further been averred that the land of the petitioner was taken over for the construction of ‘Vijayarai Anicut’ across Tahmmileru River way back in May, 1997. After going through the counter affidavit filed on behalf of respondent No.2, it is clear that the petitioner’s land was acquired for the construction of Vijayarai Anicut across Tahmmileru River and that way back in the year 1997, the petitioner had given his consent and handed over the aforementioned land by his own voluntary act. The present Writ Petition is filed belatedly after more than ten years. I find no merit in the Writ Petition and the same is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________________________ JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA June 16, 2011 MD IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THURSDAY, THE SIXTEENTH DAY OF JUNE TWO THOUSAND AND ELEVEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No.29205 OF 2008 Between: Sri Potluri Srinivas .....PETITIONER AND The Government of Andhra Pradesh and others ....RESPONDENTS The Court made the following: THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No.29205 OF 2008 June 16, 2011
