PETITIONER AND The District Social Welfare Officer, (Land Acquisition), Guntur, Guntur District and another .....RESPONDENTS THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE S.ANANDA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.16240 of 2007 ORDER: This writ petition is filed by the petitioner aggrieved by the action of the respondents in interfering and proposing to dispossess the petitioner from the possession of an extent of Ac.0.50 cents in D.No.525/2.2C and 2D of Muttayapalem village, Amaravathi Mandal, Guntur District, without acquiring the land or taking consent of the petitioner, therefore, the said action is illegal and arbitrary and without jurisdiction. The grievance of the petitioner is that on earlier occasion, an extent of Ac.2.00 have been acquired by issuing proceedings under Land Acquisition Act, and the petitioner is left with only Ac.0.50 cents of land. But with reference to the said land also, the respondents are proposing to dispossess the petitioner without even resorting to the proceedings under Land Acquisition Act or taking consent of the petitioner, hence the present writ petition. Though time was granted to the learned Government Pleader to get instructions, the learned Government Pleader was not able to get any instructions. Under the above circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of, with a direction to the respondents not to interfere with the possession of the petitioner or dispossess him from the land referred to above, without initiating proceedings under the Land Acquisition Act or taking consent of the petitioner for acquiring the land. No order as to costs. ______________________ S.ANANDA REDDY,J Dated: 04.10.2007 Dsr
