HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY W.P.No.12568 of 2007 Date : 13-7-2011 Between : Maruboyina Bhadra Lakshmi w/o.Venkat Rao and others .. Petitioners and The District Collector, West Godavari District, Eluru and others .. Respondents Counsel for petitioners : Sri K.Chidambaram Counsel for respondents : G.P. for Land Acquisition The Court made the following: ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed for a mandamus to set-aside notification in ROC.No.F5/SW/405/2006, dated 4-10-2006 of respondent No.1 issued under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short "the Act") and order in ROC.No.C.No.SW/405/2006(G2) dated 10-5-2007, whereby the objections of the petitioners were rejected by the said respondent. An extent of Ac.1-50 cents of land in Sy.No.6/5 D1 of Matsyapuri palem village, Veeravasam Mandal, West Godavari District, was notified for acquisition for providing house sites under Indiramma Scheme. The impugned notification had shown Smt.Maruboyina Lakshmi Kumari w/o.late Nageswara Rao, as the owner of the said property. The petitioners filed objections to the proposed acquisition. As the said objections were rejected by respondent No.1 vide his order dated 10-5-2007, the present Writ Petition is filed questioning both the notification issued under Section 4(1) of the Act and the order rejecting the objections. It is not in dispute that the petitioners are not the registered owners of the property in question. It is their pleaded case that they have filed the suit O.S.No.23/2006 in the court of the learned Principal District & Sessions Judge, Eluru, for partition of the land which is notified for acquisition. The petitioners’ rights are yet to be crystallized. On such inchoate rights, the petitioners cannot claim locus to maintain the present Writ Petition to question the validity of the acquisition proceedings, more so when the registered owner of the land has not assailed these proceedings. I am therefore of the opinion that the petitioners lack locus standi to file this Writ Petition. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed on this short ground with liberty to the petitioners to claim appropriate compensation in the event of their success in the pending suit. As a sequel, interim order dated 18-6-2007 is vacated and WPMP No.15656/2007 and WVMP No.2351/2007 are disposed of as infructuous. ________________________ Justice C.V.
