IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) THURSDAY, THE THIRTY FIRST DAY OF JANUARY TWO THOUSAND AND EIGHT PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.1588 of 2008 Between: Avvaru Janaki Ramaiah ..... PETITIONER AND The Special Collector, G.N.S.S., Kadapa, Kadapa District and 2 others .....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.1588 of 2008 ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a Writ of Mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in not including the name of the petitioner as owner of the land admeasuring Ac.7.24 cents comprised in Sy.No.389/2P, 613, 637 and 640 of Upputur village, Atlur Mandal, Kadapa District in the Notification issued under Sec.4 (1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short ‘the Act’). The petitioner also sought for a consequential direction to the respondents to include his name as owner and enjoyer of the land in the declaration under Sec.6, to be issued. Heard Sri T.Nagarjuna Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Asst.Govt.Pleader for Land Acquisition. The only grievance of the petitioner is that though he succeeded to the property of his late father Ramakrishnaiah, after his death on 18.11.2006, along with his mother and brother, the respondents failed to notify their names against the extent of Ac.7.24 cents, which were acquired for the purpose of Somasila Project. At the time of hearing, the learned counsel for the petitioner drew my attention to representation dated 10.12.2007 submitted by the petitioner, on behalf of himself, his mother and brother, wherein he requested respondent No.2 to include their names in the acquisition proceedings. The learned counsel submitted that despite making such a representation, no steps are taken so far by the respondents to include the names of the petitioner, his mother and brother. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Asst.Govt.Pleader for Land Acquisition, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition, without going into the merits of the case, by directing respondent No.2 to consider the representation said to have made by the petitioner on 10.12.2007. If 2nd respondent is satisfied that the petitioner and his family members possess interest over the property of an extent of Ac.7.24 cents situated in Sy.No.389/2P, 613, 637 and 640 of Upputur village, Atlur Mandal, Kadapa District, he shall take steps to include the names of the petitioner and his family members in the acquisition proceedings. In the event 2nd respondent is not satisfied with the claim of the petitioner, he shall, after hearing the petitioner in person, pass a detailed order and communicate the same to the petitioner. The petitioner is at liberty to avail his remedies in the event respondent No.2 passes an adverse order. The 2nd respondent shall complete the above mentioned exercise, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Subject to the above directions, the Writ Petition is disposed of. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Dated: 31.01.2008 Dsr Note: Issue copy in four days B/o Dsr
