These Writ Petitions are filed for a mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in laying road over lands in Sy.Nos.1398, 1402 and 1399 of Mallaram road, Vemulawada town, Karimnagar District, without acquiring them under the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, "the Act"). In the additional counter affidavit filed by the Revenue Divisional Officer/Land Acquisition Officer, Sircilla, Karimnagar District, respondent No.2 in W.P.No.15436/2009, it is inter alia stated that the notification under Section 4(1) of the Act was published on 19-10-2009 proposing to acquire an extent of Ac.2-27 guntas of land in Sy.Nos.1398, 1399, 1400, 1401 and 1402 invoking urgency clause under Section 17(4) of the Act and dispensing with enquiry under Section 5-A of the Act for laying of bypass road. The additional counter affidavit also enumerated the further steps envisaged under the Act including holding of award enquiry. In view of the above subsequent developments, the grievance of the petitioners that their lands are sought to be acquired without following due process of law stands redressed. The Writ Petitions are accordingly disposed of with liberty to the petitioners to avail appropriate remedy against the acquisition proceedings, if they feel aggrieved thereby. As a sequel, interim orders granted in the Writ Petitions stand vacated and interlocutory applications are disposed of as infructuous. ____________________ C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy.,J Date : 26-4-2011 AM
