THE HON'BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 9729 OF 2011 Dated: 20.09.2011 Between: Uppuluri Veera Venkata Krishna Rao ..... PETITIONER AND State of Andhra Pradesh and 3 others ..... RESPONDENTS The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 9729 OF 2011 O R D E R: This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the action of the respondents in deciding to establish a toll plaza by changing the original plan in R.S.Nos.230/01 and 233/2 of Kovvur Municipality, West Godavari District, is arbitrary and illegal. A counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of the respondents by the Revenue Divisional Officer, Kovvur stating that though it is a fact that the Executive Engineer, R&B submitted proposals for acquisition of the land of the writ petitioner for establishment of toll plaza to the approach road connecting the 2nd road bridge of river Godavari, no notification under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, ‘the Act’) has been published so far. It is also stated in the counter affidavit that as and when the notification is published, petitioner can raise his objections, if any, to the acquisition of his land. The fact that no notification is published so far under Section 4(1) of the Act for acquisition of the land belonging to the petitioner for the purpose of establishment of toll plaza to the approach road connecting the 2nd road bridge of river Godavari has not been disputed by the learned counsel for the petitioner. In the circumstances, interference by this Court is not warranted at this stage and the writ petition is premature. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of making it clear that as and when the notification is issued for acquisition of the land in question, the petitioner is at liberty to raise his objections. There shall also be a direction to the respondents not to interfere with the possession of the petitioner in respect of the land in question without following due process of law. No costs. ​ ____________ G. ROHINI, J Date: 20.09.2011 Ivd
