THE HONBLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.17694 of 2008 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the notification dated 9.07.2008 published under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, "the Act") acquiring Ac.8.00 of land belonging to the petitioner situated in Sy.No.115/2 of Burugupudi Village, Kirlampudi Mandal, East Godavari District is arbitrary and illegal. Though various contentions have been raised by the petitioners stating that acquisition is arbitrary, illegal and mala fide, I am not inclined to express any opinion since, admittedly, under the impugned notification the enquiry under Section 5-A of the Act was proposed to be conducted and the Revenue Divisional Officer, Peddapuram, was appointed to perform the functions of the Collector. In the circumstances, the present writ petition is premature. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of granting leave and liberty to the petitioners to submit their objections to the acquisition before the respondents within a period of two weeks from today. If any such objections are received, the respondents shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law before proceeding further. No costs. 22.08.2008.
