NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.23637 of 2007 ORDER:- This writ petition is filed for a writ of mandamus to declare award No.45/2007 dated 7.8.2007 as illegal and arbitrary. An extent of 3 cents of land situated at survey No.198-4C/211- 1D, Narayanapuram panchayat, Ananthapur district, belonging to the petitioner was proposed to be acquired under the provisions of National Highway Authorities Act 1956 (for short “the Act”). After completion of all the formalities under the said Act by issuing notification under Section 3A/1 and declaration under Section 3D of the Act, an award was passed on 7.8.2007. It is this award which is assailed in this writ petition. Heard Sri K.Ram Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Land Acquisition for respondent No.1 and Sri S.S.Varma, learned Standing Counsel for respondent No.2. It is not the case of the petitioner that in issuing notification under Section 3A and declaration under Section 3D of the Act, the respondents have committed any statutory violations or procedural illegalities. The petitioner failed to file any objections to the proposed acquisition. At the hearing, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Land Acquisition produced the record which shows that the petitioner gave her consent for passing the award and accordingly a consent award was passed. Therefore, having given her consent for passing award, it does not lie in the mouth of the petitioner to turn round and file a writ petition questioning the very acquisition of the property. For the aforementioned reasons, the writ petition is dismissed. ___________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Date:17.12.2007 mdaa
