HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.8009 of 2010 ORDER: Heard Sri Ch.Dhanamjaya, Learned Counsel for the petitioner and the Learned Government Pleader for Land Acquisition and, at their request, the Writ Petition is being disposed of at the stage of admission. The petitioner claims to be the owner of an extent of Ac.3.47 cents in R.S.No.223/3 situated at Velachintalagudem, Gopalapuram Mandal, West Godavari District. The petitioner would submit that, on 16.03.2010, the subordinates of the respondents had gone over to his land; had started taking measurements; and on his raising objection, they had informed him that the land is proposed to be acquired for providing house sites to the weaker sections. The petitioner’s apprehension is that he would be dispossessed from his land without initiating land acquisition proceedings. Learned Government Pleader for Land Acquisition, on instructions, would submit that the respondents had visited the petitioner’s site not for taking measurements but to verify whether the said land was suitable for acquisition for the purpose of providing house sites to the weaker sections. According to the Learned Government Pleader, the petitioner’s land was found not suitable and as a result the Government lands in the vicinity are being utilized for providing house sites to the weaker sections. He would state that the petitioner’s apprehension, that he would be dispossessed from his land, is without any basis as the Government has, at present, no intention to acquire the said land. Recording the submission of the Learned Government Pleader and in as much as the petitioner’s land is not sought to be acquired, it is evident that the petitioner’s apprehension of his being dispossessed is without basis. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, disposed of. However, in the circumstances, without costs. RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J Date:15.04.2010 usd
