THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM WRIT PETITION NO. 22177 OF 2006 DATED: 01-11-2006 Between: Gedela Prabhavati W/o. G. Shiva Shankar Rao … Petitioner And The District Collector, Krishna District, Machilipatnam and two others … Respondents THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM WRIT PETITION NO. 22177 OF 2006 ORDER: The singular claim of the petitioner is that she has two children, who are pursuing medicine, a daughter, who is undergoing house- surgeons’ training and a son who is studying final M.B.B.S. The petitioner owns agricultural land in an extent of Ac.9.18 cents in Bhatla Pamarru Village, Movva Mandal, Krishna District in Survey Nos. 209/1 and 208/2. The petitioner’s children, after they become full fledged doctors, intend to start a hospital in this land to serve the rural poor. The petitioner has put up a board in the land notifying the local public about the intention to start a hospital in future in the land. While so, the petitioner contends, the respondents are proposing to acquire her land for some as yet unknown public purpose. In the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition, it is neither pleaded, nor asserted at the stage of admission today or urged by the learned counsel for the petitioner that any formal process, such as issuance of a notification under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act(for short ‘the Act’)has been initiated by the respondents. Since the respondents are alleged to have erected some flags in the land, the petitioner apprehends an acquisition process and has therefore, came to the Court. The writ petition is hopelessly pre-mature. Unless a formal notice under Section 4(1) of the Act is issued, there is no present grievance that the petitioner may pursue. In the circumstances, this Court is not inclined to pronounce on the petitioner’s contention that the land which she has earmarked for her children’s hospital to be erected in future, could not be acquired. As and when a notification under Section 4(1) of the Act is issued and a notice calling the petitioner for enquiry under Section 5 of the Act is issued, the petitioner is at liberty to urge this contention in her objections. The writ petition is dismissed at the stage of admission after hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Land Acquisition. There shall, however, be no order as to costs. ______________________ GODA RAGHURAM, J. Dt: 01-11-2006 Rns
