At the hearing, Sri P.Venugopal, learned counsel for the petitioner fairly conceded that the main issue raised in this writ petition, namely, proposal to acquire agricultural land without its conversion for non-agricultural use is covered by judgment, dated 28.12.2007, passed by this Court in Writ Petition Nos.18881 of 2006 and batch, wherein a similar contention has been rejected. He, however, submitted that on receipt of notice issued under Section 5A of the Act, the petitioner submitted his objections and that in view of filing and pendency of this writ petition, those objections were not enquired into. Having regard to the said submission of the learned counsel, the writ petition is disposed of directing respondent No.1 to consider the objections of the petitioner by giving an opportunity of personal hearing to him before seeking to proceed further with the proposed acquisition. As a sequel to disposal of main petition, interim order, dated 06.03.2007 is vacated, WPMP.No.5736 of 2007 is dismissed and WVMP.No.2786 of 2007 is disposed of as infructuous.
