RAMANA WRIT PETITION No.10818 of 2009 Between: Smt.P.Kavitha ..... PETITIONER AND The Special Deputy Collector and Land Acquisition Officer, GHMC, 6th Floor, Municipal Complex, Tankbund, Hyderabad and others . .....RESPONDENTS ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondent-Corporation. The petitioner claims to be the absolute owner and possessor of the property bearing Municipal No.6-3-694 admeasuring 285 sq.yards situated in Survey No.174, Panjagutta, Hyderabad, having succeeded to the same. It is his case that the respondents have issued a notice, dated 30.06.2008, under Sections 9 (3) and 10 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 declaring that the land to an extent of 29.81 sq.yards out of the subject land is required for road widening and thereafter, a notice, dated 19.01.2008, under Section 12(2) was issued awarding a sum of Rs.11,24,874.22 towards compensation of the land acquired. While so, it is the grievance of the petitioner that the respondents, without following due process of law, are trying to interfere with his possession over the remaining extent of 255.19 sq.yards. Hence, the present writ petition seeking appropriate directions. When the matter is taken up for consideration, the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondent-Corporation submitted that as of now, the respondent-Corporation is not interfering with the possession of the petitioner over the subject land and that the respondent-Corporation will follow due process of law, if the subject land is required for road widening. In the circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents not to interfere with the peaceful possession of the petitioner over the subject land, without following due process of law. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date:08.10.2009 VGB
