THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO W.P.NO.10034 OF 1997 Dated: 29-12-2006 Between: T.Aswarth Petitioner And The Mandal Revenue Officer, Pattikonda, Kurnool District and two others Respondents THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO W.P.NO.10034 OF 1997 ORDER: 1. This writ petition has been instituted questioning the exercise of compulsory acquisition of land indulged in by the respondents. Various contentions have been canvassed as to why the proposed compulsory acquisition of land is illegal. Ms.Lakshmi Pramila has appeared on behalf of the petitioner and reiterated the contentions canvassed in the writ petition. The learned Government Pleader for Land Acquisition has placed before me a communication received by him from the Revenue Divisional Officer, Adoni on 23-12-2006. The Land Acquisition Officer appears to have called for a status report from the local Mandal Revenue officer at Pattikonda who seems to have inspected the land and reported that the land in question is covered with several pits and boulders and it is not fit for acquisition for providing house sites to the weaker sections. It is also reported that a suitable alternative land available in Survey No.219/1 at Pattikonda village was already acquired and the eligible beneficiaries have been granted house site pattas during the year 1998-99 and hence there is no necessity for pursuing the proposed acquisition of the land of Ac.2.32 cents, which is the subject matter of the consideration in the writ petition. It is represented that the State Government is not proceeding any further with the proposed acquisition of the land and therefore, the cause in the writ petition does not survive. Recording the submission of the learned Government Pleader for Land Acquisition based upon the instructions received by him from the Revenue Divisional Officer, Adoni, the writ petition is disposed of, but however without costs. ________________________ NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO,J 29-12-2006 Stp
