THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO Writ Petition No. 11943 of 2011 --- This writ petition can be disposed of right at the admission stage with the following order and for that purpose the detailed facts may not be necessary to be narrated. On 5.12.2008, notification under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act has been published proposing to acquire Ac.24.01 cts of land for a public purpose viz., for allotment of house sites to the weaker sections. In the said notification, lands in Sy. Nos. 269/8 to the extent of Ac.2.23 cts and Ac.2.27 cts have also been notified. These lands belong to the two petitioners herein. The case of the petitioners is that because of a hue and cry from various quarters the State has recognized the need to drop the acquisition proceedings and accordingly no further action has been taken pursuant to the notification dated 5.12.2008. When the petitioners approached the 3rd respondent – Urban Development Authority seeking necessary permission, the 3rd respondent is asking the respondents 1 and 2 to inform him of the latest stage of the land acquisition proceedings and the respondents 1 and are maintaining silence on that. As a result, the application of the petitioners are not being processed by the 3rd respondent. Therefore, it’s only appropriate that the respondents 1 and 2 shall furnish the necessary information asked for by the 3rd respondent with regard to the notification published by the State in terms of Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of two months. --------------------------------- Nooty Ramamohana Rao, J knk 26th April 2011
