Learned Government Pleader for Land Acquisition on instructions from the Revenue Divisional Officer, Kakinada states that since land to an extent of Acs.0.02 cents belonging to the petitioner is not included in the award bearing No.1/97, dated 21.12.1997 passed by the Land Acquisition Officer it is clear the land of the petitioner is untouched in the acquisition and so petitioner is not entitled to any relief. Since the land of the petitioner is said to be untouched, and is said to be not acquired under the notification impugned, petitioner is not entitled to any relief in this writ petition. If his land is being interfered with by anybody, petitioner can seek remedies available to him in respect of the said land. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. No costs. ____________________ C.Y. Somayajuly, J. 13th July, 2005 js.
