THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No. 25290 of 2010 O R D E R: This writ petition has been instituted seeking a direction to the respondents, namely Vijayawada, Guntur, Tenali, Mangalagiri Urban Development Authority and the State of Andhra Pradesh not to dispossess the writ petitioner from his land situate in Survey No. 72 of Kundavari Kandrika, Vijayawada Municipal Corporation limits, without acquiring the same. Smt. K. Aruna, learned Standing Counsel for the 2nd respondent, who took notice, submitted that insofar as the proposal to lay an inner ring road within the Municipal Corporation limits of Vijayawada is concerned, the respondents are negotiating with each of the land owners, whose land is likely to be affected, if the inner ring road is laid. There are certain benefits/advantages, which such owners can derive, if they give their consent for formation of road through their lands. Similarly, as and when the respondents approach the writ petitioner, he can assess the terms, subject to which the respondents would offer to negotiate with him and if the terms are acceptable to him, he can give his consent. If the writ petitioner has any reservations to give his consent, for laying road through his land, the 1st respondent State and the 2nd respondent Urban Development Authority will not enter upon his land without first acquiring his property under the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894/ Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Act, 1955/A.P. Urban Areas (Development) Act, 1975, which Act applies to Vijayawada Municipal Corporation. In view of this candid statement of the learned Standing Counsel for the 2nd respondent, the apprehensions entertained by the writ petitioner are put paid to. Hence, the Writ Petition is not needed to be entertained. The Writ Petition is therefore, disposed of, directing Respondents 1 and 2 to follow the procedure for acquisition of the land, in case the writ petitioner does not give his consent for formation of the inner ring road through his land. No costs. ---------------------------------- Nooty Ramamohana Rao, J 7th October 2010 Note: Issue CC today. ksld
