THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.5811 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner owns property in premises bearing Nos.131- 1, 131-2 and 138-1 at Nadimpalem Village, Prathipadu Mandal, Guntur District abutting National Highway No.5. The respondents have undertaken widening of the highway to a six-lane road. The property of the petitioner was acquired to a substantial extent. Her grievance is that in the leftover property, the respondents have raised a cluster of cement poles for an electric line virtually blocking entry into her leftover property. She made a representation on 03.02.2011 and submits that no action has been taken thereon. Heard Sri Ganta Rama Rao, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri S.S.Varma, learned Standing Counsel for respondent No.1. The petitioner has no grievance about acquisition of her property for widening of the road. It appears that opening of the leftover property is a bit narrow. The photographs filed by the petitioner depicting the poles that have been put after the acquisition discloses that the entry into the plot is virtually blocked. A cluster of about 7 or 8 poles is put on the ground. On the face of it, the erection of poles appears to be not only unwarranted but also totally unscientific. It appears that for the work, the contractor or the agency is being paid the amount proportionate to the number of poles and thereby, an unnecessary exercise that too, blocking the entry of the petitioner is undertaken. Respondent No.1 shall ensure that either the cluster of the poles is shifted to a different place or an alternative is chosen in such a way that the access of the petitioner to her plot is not blocked. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J Dt.14.03.2011. kdl
