THE HONBLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.14822 of 2008 ORAL ORDER: The petitioner herein claims to be the owner and possessor of Ac.1.50 cents of land in Sy.No.67/1, situated at Jalipudi Village, Eluru Mandal, West Godavari District. By notification, dated 27.04.2007, published under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, "the Act") the said land was sought to be acquired for a public purpose, namely, providing house sites under Indiramma Housing Scheme. Though under the notification, Section 5-A enquiry was proposed to be conducted, the petitioner states that no notice was received by him at any time and, consequently, he was denied an opportunity to raise his objections to the acquisition. It is also contended by the petitioner that in the notification under Section 4(1) of the Act, the name of his grandfather was shown, who is no more. Thus, it is contended by the petitioner that the action of the respondents in taking further steps on the basis of the notification dated 27.04.2007 without giving him proper opportunity to raise his objections is arbitrary and illegal. Though no counter affidavit is filed, the learned Government Pleader for Land Acquisition under instructions submitted that, so far, the declaration under Section 6 of the Act is not made. Having regard to the facts and circumstances, and particularly, keeping in view the nature of the public purpose for which the land is sought to be acquired, I am of the opinion that it would be appropriate to provide an opportunity to the petitioner to raise his objections. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of permitting the petitioner to raise his objections to the acquisition under the notification, dated 27.04.2007, within a period of four weeks from today. If such objections are raised, the respondents shall consider the same and pas appropriate orders in accordance with law. No costs. 28.07.2008.
