THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.3186 of 2007 Date: 28.01.2008 Between: Smt.Talaparthi Rajya Laxmi & 5 others … Petitioners AND The Land Acquisition Officer/RDO, Narsapur, West Godavari district. & others. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioners: Sri T.Ramakrishnam Counsel for respondents: G.P. for Land Acquisition HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.3186 of 2007 ORDER:- In this writ petition the petitioners questioned Notification dated 21.1.2007 issued under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act 1894 (for short “the Act”). The sole ground on which the acquisition proceedings are assailed is that the lands, which are proposed to be acquired are agricultural lands and without their conversion for being used for non-agricultural purposes under the provisions of Andhra Pradesh Agricultural Land (Conversion for Non-Agricultural Purposes) Act, 2006, the proposed acquisition is bad. This Court rejected a similar contention by order dated 28.12.2007 in W.P.No.18881 of 2006 and Batch. In view of the same, this writ petition is dismissed with the direction that the detailed reasons contained therein shall form part of this order. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners that though enquiry under Section 5A of the Act was earlier held, the petitioners intend to file additional objections before respondent No.1. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Land Acquisition says that no decision on the hearing held by respondent No.1 has been taken by respondent No.2 so far and declaration under Section 6 of the Act has also not been published. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it appropriate to direct respondent No.1 to afford another opportunity to the petitioners to file their objections. Petitioners are permitted to file additional objections if any, within two weeks from today and on receiving the objections, respondent No.1 shall consider the same before sending his final report to respondent. After passing of the order by respondent No.2 on the objections of the petitioners, the same shall be communicated to the petitioners. Subject to the above observations, the writ petition is dismissed. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.4074 of 2007 filed by the petitioner seeking interim relief is also dismissed. ___________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Date:28.01.2008 mdaa
