IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) PRESENT THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V. ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION NO.4884 OF 2005 DATED:17.03.2011 Between: Gunti Bakkaiah … Petitioner And The District Collector Karimnagar District and others … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V. ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION NO.4884 OF 2005 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a Writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the second respondent in proposing to lay a road in the petitioner’s land in Sy. No.1321 admeasuring Ac.4.06 gts., situated at Banjerupalli, H/o. Manakondur Village and Mandal, Karimnagar District, as illegal and arbitrary, and consequently to direct the respondents not to interfere with the petitioner’s possession and enjoyment of the said land. It is the case of the petitioner that he is the absolute owner and possessor of the above said land and from the date of purchase he has been cultivating the land. While so, respondents 2 to 4 made a proposal to lay a road from the property of the petitioner affecting an extent of Ac.0.08 gts. of the land and in that connection the second respondent visited the property of the petitioner on 25.2.2005. The petitioner therefore seeks a direction to the respondents not to lay any road in the said land without following due process of law. A counter affidavit is filed by the respondent No.4 stating that a C.C. road was sanctioned by the District Collector, Karimnagar, vide proceedings dt.12.10.2004 at an estimated cost of Rs.84,000/-, that to lay the C.C. road from bore well to primary school in the village marking was made from the bore well to an extent of 85 meters only and that after making an inspection it was proposed to lay a road. It is further stated that the proposed road as shown in the sketch is not touching any part of the petitioner’s land and therefore the allegation made in the writ petition is without any basis. This Court at the time of admission, by order dt.11.3.2005 while granting interim direction made it clear that in case the land in S.No.1321 belongs to the Government, it is open for the respondents to proceed with the work. However, in view of the counter filed by the respondent No.4 stating that the proposed road is not at all touching the land of the petitioner, the grievance of the petitioner does not survive. The writ petition is accordingly closed. No costs. _______________________ V. ESWARAIAH, J 17.3.2011 bnr
