THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI Writ Petition No. 16936 of 2010 Dated: 19.07.2010 Between: Ghanta Krishna and 3 others. … Petitioners And The District Collector, Eluru and 2 others. … Respondents THE HON'BLE MS JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 16936 of 2010 O R D E R : This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the notification dated 16.06.2010 issued under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short ‘the Act’) acquiring the lands of the petitioners for a public purpose i.e. for providing house sites to the displaced persons in Ramayya peta and Paidipaka villages under the Indirasagar Polavaram Project is arbitrary and illegal. It is primarily contended that the action of the respondents in invoking Section 17(4) of the Act and dispensing with the enquiry under Section 5-A of the Act is unwarranted and unjustified. The learned Government Pleader for Land Acquisition appearing for the respondents under instructions stated that though in the impugned notification Section 17(4) was invoked, having regard to the nature of the public purpose for which the land was sought to be acquired, it was decided to hold the enquiry under Section 5-A of the Act and the further steps would be taken only after enquiring into the objections that may be raised by the petitioners. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of permitting the petitioners to submit their objections with regard to the impugned acquisition before the 2nd respondent within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of this order. If any such objections are submitted within the time fixed above, the 2nd respondent shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law before proceeding further pursuant to the impugned notification. No costs. ​ ____________ G.ROHINI,J Date: 19.07.2010 KLP
