THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM WRIT PETITION No. 9747 of 2007 DATED: 1-05-2007 Between: Ganuboina Venkateswara Rao …Petitioner and The District Collector, West Godavari District, Kakinada and another …Respondents THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM W.P.No. 9747 of 2007 Oral order: The writ petition is misconceived. The petitioner’s lands were notified for acquisition. The petitioner was afforded an opportunity to lodge his objections under Section 5-A of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short ‘the Act’), he did lodge his objections. By the order impugned in this writ petition, the 1st respondent rejected the objections lodged by the petitioner and directed further process of acquisition. The petitioner, inter alia, objected to the acquisition on the ground that there were Government lands available in the vicinity and that he is a small farmer and that this land is only source of his livelihood. It was also urged by the petitioner that the proposed land is an agricultural land which is fertile and therefore unfit for house sites which is the purpose for the acquisition. All these contentions were rejected by the 1st respondent recording cogent reasons for each of the objections. In the aforesaid circumstances, this court discerns no infirmity warranting judicial review. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed, after hearing the learned Government Pleader for Land Acquisition also. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ GODA RAGHURAM, J 1-05-2007 GRR
