THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.20085 of 2009 ORDER: A notification under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short ‘the Act’) was published by the District Collector, Guntur, on 17.09.2008, proposing to acquire Acs.3.62 cents of land in survey Nos.1069/8 and 9 of Kolakaluru Village, Tenali Mandal, Guntur District, for the purpose of providing house sites. The Revenue Divisional Officer, Tenali was appointed as Land Acquisition Officer, and he, in turn, issued notice, dated 16.12.2008, under Section 5-A of the Act, inviting the objections. The petitioner states that she has since submitted her objections, raising several contentions. According to her, no declaration was published under Section 6 of the Act, and still the respondents are proceeding with the acquisition. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Land Acquisition. What is published under Section 4(1) of the Act is only a draft proposal. It is only when a declaration under Section 6 is published, that the decision of the Government to acquire the land, becomes evident. The petitioner is not able to point out whether any orders were passed under Section 5-A of the Act, either accepting, or rejecting, her contention. She can be said to have suffered detriment, if only a notification under Section 6 of the Act is published. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of, leaving it open to the petitioner to approach this Court, if any notification under Section 6 of the Act, is issued, in respect of her land. There shall be no order as costs. _____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.23.04.2010. GJ
