IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) THURSDAY, THE SIXTH DAY OF NOVEMBER, TWO THOUSAND EIGHT ONLY PRESENT: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.24604 of 2001 Between: Satyanarayana Raju … Petitioner AND The Competent Authority under The National Highways Act-cum- The Revenue Divisional Officer, Kovvur, West Godavari District. … Respondent Counsel for the petitioner : Sri K.S.R. Murthy Counsel for the respondent : AGP for Roads and Buildings This Court made the following: THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.24604 of 2001 ORDER:- This writ petition is ﬁled for a Writ of Mandamus to declare initiation of acquisition proceedings in respect of the petitioner’s land in Sy.No.301/5A of Tetali Village, Tanuku Mandal, West Godavari District, as illegal and unconstitutional. Heard Sri K.S.R. Murthy, learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Roads and Buildings and perused the record. While admitting this writ petition, this Court, on 03.12.2001, declined to grant interim order. More than seven years elapsed since then. It is therefore reasonable to presume that in the absence of an interim order the work notiﬁed under the impugned notiﬁcation would have already been executed rendering the writ petition infructuous. In view of the same, the writ petition is dismissed as infructuous. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 06.11.2008 ES
