THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI Writ Petition No.28663 of 2008 ORDER : The petitioner, whose land has already been acquired under the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act, has filed this Writ Petition challenging the Proceedings No.359/2008, dated 13-12-2008 issued by the 2nd Respondent-Tahsildar, Parvatipuram Mandal, directing the petitioner to hand over possession, as illegal. The undisputed facts are that huge extent of Acs.5132 of land situated in over 18 villages has been acquired by the State Government by duly following the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act for the purpose of constructing an Irrigation Project called Thotapalli Barrage Project across the river Nagavalli near Thotapalli Village of Garugubilli Mandal. The land of the petitioner situated in Sy.No.182/6 of Pinninti Rami Naidu Valasa is also part of the said acquisition proceedings. A consent Award was passed and the petitioner has also received compensation therefor. It is stated that the petitioner is running a rice mill constructed on the acquired land, therefore he has filed this Writ Petition contending that the project has not been completed so far and as such, he should be allowed to continue to run the rice mill until construction of the project is completed in all respects. It is contended that there are other persons who, either by cultivating the land or have established the petrol bunks, are still in possession. On the said premise, the petitioner seeks a writ to allow him to continue to run his rice mill. A counter-affidavit has been filed stating that except the rice mill of the petitioner and a petrol bunk for which compensation was not paid, no other person is in occupation. It is also stated that as the project is nearing completion and the land of the petitioner is within the submergible area, it is not possible to continue the petitioner’s occupation of the land. From the aforesaid facts it is apparent that the land of the petitioner has already been acquired and compensation also has been paid to him. Therefore, the land has become vested in the Government and the petitioner has no right to be in possession of the acquired land. The petitioner has no right to remain in possession until the area is actually submerged. The Writ Petition is misconceived and is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ________________ NOUSHAD ALI, J. 08th February, 2011. skmr THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI Writ Petition No.28663 of 2008 Date : 08-02-2011 Between : Sri Rama Modern Rice Mill, rep. by its Proprietor S.K.Viswanadham, son of Sri Rammurthy, aged about 46 years, resident of Sri Pinniti Ramanaiduvalasa, H/o Addapuseela Village, Parvatipuram Mandal, Vizianagaram District ..
