HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.4400 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioners claim to be the owners of the land in Survey Nos. 195/2,3 and 4 (P) of Anantapur Revenue Village, which is now part of Anantapur Municipal Corporation. Their grievance is that the respondents are trying to form 80’ road across their land without initiating any proceedings under law. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondent. The petitioner states that the respondent initiated proposal for formation of 80 feet road from Anantapur to Gooty according to the master plan. In case, the petitioners intend to make any construction on their land, the respondents can very much insist on leaving of the affected portion. However, even before the petitioners make an application seeking permission to construct over the land, the respondent cannot lay road without acquiring the affected portion. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of directing that the respondent shall not lay road across the land of the petitioners in Survey Nos. 195/2,3 and 4 (P) of Anantapur Revenue Village, without acquiring the affected portion. It is further directed that in case the petitioners intend to make any construction over the land, it shall be open to the respondent to insist on leaving the affected area for formation of the road as a condition precedent. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY,J DATE: 25th February, 2011 pnb
