HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.32441 of 2011 Date: 12.12.2011 Between: M/sKankor Precision Technologies, A partnership firm, Hyderabad, Reptd by one of its Partner- Sri K.Gautham Reddy. ..... Petitioner And: Government of A.P., Reptd by its Principal Secretary, Hyderabad And another. …. Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: Sri N.Subba Reddy Counsel for Respondent No.1: GP for Municipal Administration Counsel for Respondent No.2: AGP for Land Acquisition The Court made the following: ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed for a Mandamus to set aside notification, dated 03.05.2011, issued under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short ‘the Act’). I have heard Sri N.Subba Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the record. The sole ground on which the Writ Petition is filed challenging the acquisition proceedings is that under the impugned notification, enquiry under Section 5-A of the Act has been dispensed with. A perusal of the impugned notification would reveal that far from dispensing with the enquiry under Section 5- A of the Act, the State Government has appointed respondent No.2 to perform the functions of the Collector under Section 5-A of the Act. This clearly indicates that the urgency clause under Section 17(4) of the Act has not been invoked and enquiry under Section 5-A is envisaged. Indeed Sri Ravindra Yenamandra, learned Standing Counsel appeared after the case was heard and submitted that enquiry under Section 5-A of the Act was held, declaration under Section 6 of the Act was published and further acquisition proceedings are also concluded. In the light of the above facts, I do not find any merit in the Writ Petition. The petitioner is entitled to avail appropriate legal remedy if he feels aggrieved by the subsequent steps taken by the respondents for acquisition of his land. Subject to the liberty given as above, the Writ Petition is dismissed. As a sequel to dismissal of the Writ Petition, W.P.M.P.No.40314 of 2011 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. __________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 12th December 2011 Note: Issue CC in three days.
