HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA W.P.No.34557 of 1997 Dated 23rd day of February, 2007 Between: Jillela Rajaiah .. Petitioner And The Mandal Revenue Officer, Raikal Mandal, Raikal and three others .. Respondents O R D E R: This writ petition is filed seeking a mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in trying to lay road in the petitioner’s agriculture land without following the procedure prescribed under law, as arbitrary and illegal. The case of the petitioner is that he is the absolute owner and possessor of agriculture land of an extent of Ac.1.17 cents in S.No.1078 situated at Raikal village, Karimnagar District. Now, his grievance is that the respondents, without initiating any proceedings under the Land Acquisition Act, are taking steps to lay road in his land. Having heard the learned counsel for both the parties, this Court deems it appropriate to direct the respondents to follow the due procedure prescribed under law before dispossessing the petitioner from his land. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ________________ 23.02.2007 bcj
