In the affidavit filed by petitioner No.2 V. Radha Krishna, it has been averred that 1st petitioner Smt. Vuppunuthala Suryamma, W/o Late V. Ramaswamy had purchased 6 acres of land comprised in Survey No.578 vide registered sale deed dated 9.3.1966 and his own father purchased 4 acres of land vide registered sale deed dated 26.10.1970. Petitioner No.2 has further averred that due to the pressure brought by 4th respondent, who happens to be local Member of the Legislative Assembly, the respondents are trying to dispossess them from the land comprised in Survey No.578. Still further, he has averred that if the government wants to acquire their land, then it must do so by following the procedure prescribed under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. In the counter-affidavit filed by Shri P. Prakasa Rao, the then Mandal Revenue Officer, Yellandu, it has been averred that total land comprised in Survey No.578 is Ac.330-11 gts. Out of this, an extent of Ac.164.03 gts was assigned to Degree College. It has been further averred that the land allotted to the Degree College belongs to the government and, therefore, there is no question of initiating acquisition proceedings in respect of that land. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. Learned Government Pleader for Land Acquisition submits that the land belonging to the petitioner is far away to the land allotted to the Degree College and respondents 1 to 3 are not going to interfere with their possession. In view of the statement made by the learned Government Pleader, the Writ petition is disposed of as infructuous. 14th June, 2006 G.S. SINGHVI, CJ vtv / svs
