THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY Writ Petition No.11768 of 2010 Dated 21st November, 2011 Between: Bommareddy Ramprasad Reddy and others …Petitioners And The Union of India, Ministry of Road Transport & Highways, New Delhi, rep.by its Secretary and others …Respondents Counsel for the petitioners: Sri V.R.Avula Counsel for respondent Nos.1 & 2: Sri S.S.Varma The Court made the following: ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a mandamus to set aside notification, dated 01.10.2008, of respondent No.1, issued under Section 3A of the National Highways Act, 1956 in respect of various pieces of land belonging to the petitioners as illegal and arbitrary. At the hearing, Sri V.R.Avula, learned counsel for the petitioners, contended that the impugned notification does not contain the names of the owners of the lands and that therefore, the same cannot be sustained in law. He has, however, conceded that a Division Bench of this Court, to which I am a party, by its judgment, dated 19.09.2007, in W.A.No.504 of 2007, repelled the similar contention and held that where there is sufficient description of the property with regard to survey numbers and the extents, mere absence of publication of names will not vitiate the notification. In view of this settled legal position, the aforementioned contention of the learned counsel for the petitioners cannot be sustained. No other issue is argued. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.14874 of 2010 is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 21st November, 2011 VGB
