DEEPA THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 26/05/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Rs/ THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P.(C).No.14358 of 2009-L = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 26th day of May, 2009. JUDGMENT This writ petition is essentially premature. The petitioners contend that the proposal of the Government to acquire certain lands for the purpose of the Centre of the Aligarh Muslim University is against the interest of the petitioners and would be an unauthorized intrusion into their right to property. They state that they are agriculturists and depend upon such activity for their livelihood. However, no notification has been issued under the Land Acquisition Act. May be that the petitioners have understood that some actions are being taken, including by way of file procedures. Without a land being notified for acquisition, there is really no cause of action to institute this writ petition even if the petitioners could, WP(C)14358/09 -: 2 :- ultimately, show sustainable grounds relatable to the well settled principles for judicial interference with land acquisition. The fundamental plea projected is that there are large parcels of uncultivated barren lands in other areas of Malappuram and the people towards Pattambi predominantly depend on agriculture and lands from that area need not be acquired. The ground realities of managing such matters lie with the executive Government and the judiciary will loath to interfere unless exceptional situations of per se arbitrariness or other vitiating elements, including malafides are demonstrated. I find no such ground to interfere with this matter at this stage. Leaving open all issues and the right of the petitioners to challenge the acquisition on sustainable grounds, this writ petition is dismissed. THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE. Sha/010609
