The petitioner has earlier filed Writ Petition No.26003 of 2006 with a similar grievance. The said Writ Petition was disposed of with certain directions. In the present Writ Petition, the grievance of the petitioner is that despite disposal of the said Writ Petition, the respondents are persisting with the laying of the road over her land without acquiring the same. In the counter affidavit filed by the Assistant Engineer, Panchayat Raj Sub-Division, Rajendranagar, Ranga Reddy District, respondent No.6, it is inter alia stated that respondent No.5 has not started the work of laying of road in place of the existing pathway, which passes through the petitioner’s land and that only after taking the consent of the petitioner, the respondents will lay the road through her land. From the above statement of respondent No.5, it is implied that the road will be laid over the petitioner’s land either with her consent or in its absence by resorting to the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of by placing on record the above-noted stand of respondent No.5. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP.No.2113 of 2009 and WVMP.No.3783 of 2010 are disposed of as infructuous. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 23.02.2011 ES
