THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.17085 of 2006 July 06, 2010 Between: Anepudi Bhaskar Reddy, S/o.late Gopala Reddy … Petitioner And The District Collector, Nellore District And others ... Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.17085 of 2006 ORDER: Petitioner’s land admeasuring Acs.0.60 in S.No.91-3A/2 situated at Tanyali Village of Doravarisatram Mandal in Nellore District, was sought to be acquired for provision of house sites to backward class people in the village. Notification under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (the Act) was issued on 20.5.2006 followed by a declaration under Section 6 of the Act on 21.5.2006. Petitioner assailed both the notifications in W.P.No.11916 of 2006. By an order dated 16.6.2006, this Court directed enquiry under Section 5-A of the Act. Thereafter second respondent conducted enquiry and rejected the objections by proceedings dated 31.7.2006. Therefore the petitioner again filed the present writ petition assailing the notification and declaration issued under the Act as well as proceedings of second respondent. It is inter alia contended that second respondent has no jurisdiction to reject the objections filed during the enquiry under Section 5-A of the Act and that the said proceedings are without jurisdiction. The issue raised in this writ petition is squarely covered by judgment of this Court in Penmetsa Venkata Satya Appala Visweswara Durga Surya Subrahmanya Varma v The Government of Andhra Pradesh[1], wherein it was held as follows. 1. The declaration under Section 6(1) of the Act in all the writ petitions is quashed; 2. All the petitioners are given liberty to make representations/ additional representations raising objections/additional objections within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order; 3. As and when such representations are made as mentioned in clause (ii) above, the concerned RDO shall conduct fresh enquiry after giving an opportunity to all the petitioners, prepare a report and submit the same to the District Collector; 4. After receiving the report on the RDO, the District Collector shall take final decision under Section 5-A of the Act before further proceeding under the Act. If any of the petitioners has any grievance thereafter, they are at liberty to assail the land acquisition proceedings by taking fresh proceedings before the appropriate Forum. In view of the ratio as above, the writ petition is disposed of, setting aside the impugned endorsement and further directing second respondent to submit a report to District Collector, who shall take final decision under Section 5-A of the Act before proceeding further under the Act. This exercise may be completed within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ________________ (V.V.S.
