IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) THURSDAY, THE FOURTEENTH DAY OF FEBRUARY TWO THOUSAND AND EIGHT PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.28069 of 2007 Between: Sankapalli Kannayya and 4 others ..... PETITIONERS AND The District Collector (LA), Visakhapatnam District, Visakhapatnam and another .....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.28069 of 2007 ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a Writ of Mandamus to set aside the notification dated 05.04.2007 issued under Sec.4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short ‘the Act’). The petitioners who claimed to be the beneficiaries under the impugned notification filed the present writ petition in order to question the said notification on the ground that the lands proposed to be acquired under the said notification are not suitable for house sites and that there are better lands available for acquisition. Since the petitioners did not file any material in support of their claim that they are included in the list of the beneficiaries, this Court had been adjourning the writ petition since 28.12.2007 and so far the case underwent five adjournments. In spite of the same, the petitioners failed to file the list of beneficiaries to show that they are included therein. In my considered view, the petitioners will not have locus to maintain the present writ petition unless they are able to prima facie satisfy this Court that they are included among the beneficiaries for whom the land under the impugned notification is proposed to be acquired. As the petitioners failed in satisfying this Court in this regard, the Writ Petition is dismissed. As a sequel to dismissal of this writ petition, WPMP.No.36696/2007, filed by the petitioners for interim relief, is also dismissed, as infructuous. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Dated: 14.02.2008 Dsr
