THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.31351 of 2010 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a mandamus declaring the action of respondents 2 to 4 in proposing to acquire the land of the petitioners an extent of Ac.1.00 cents covered by Survey No.328 situated at Reddy Palem Village, Guntur Mandal and District, as illegal and arbitrary, and consequently, set aside the proceedings published in newspaper, dated 07.07.2010. It is the case of the petitioners that though the land belongs to them, without notifying their names, notification was issued under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short ‘the Act’). It is submitted that there is no public purpose exists as of now to acquire the land and in spite of the same, on the requisition sent by Vijayawada, Guntur, Tenali and Mangalagiri Urban Development Authority, the respondents have issued the notification. A perusal of the notification issued under Section 4(1) of the Act indicates that on the requisition sent by the second respondent authority, aforesaid piece of land is notified. In the schedule, the name of the father of the petitioners is mentioned. It is the case of the petitioners that the aforesaid piece of land is fallen to their share. It is to be noticed that enquiry under Section 5-A of the Act is not dispensed with and it is stated by the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Land Acquisition that enquiry is already started and it is in the process. As much as the enquiry under Section 5-A of the Act is not dispensed with and as the petitioners are also claiming one acre in the notified land, I deem it appropriate to permit the petitioners to participate in the enquiry being conducted under Section 5-A of the Act. It is open to the petitioners to file objections under Section 5-A of the Act within a period of three (3) weeks from today. If any such objections are filed, the authority under Section 5-A of the Act shall consider the same before taking further steps in the matter. Subject to the above observations, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 14th DECEMBER, 2010. Note: issue c.c. in three (3) days. kvni
