The Roads and Buildings Department of the Government of A.P., issued a tender notice, dated 28.01.2011, inviting tenders for construction of a Rail Over Bridge in the road connecting Gudur Town with National Highway No.5. The petitioners contend that the ROB is designed in such a way that their lands would be affected and no proceedings were initiated under the Land Acquisition Act (for short ‘the Act’). Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Government Pleader for Roads and Buildings. The petitioners are under apprehension that the land would be utilized in construction of ROB.

The petitioners can put forward their contentions, as and when a notification under Section 4 (1) of the Act is issued. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that the respondents shall not undertake any work on the land of the petitioners, without acquiring the same in accordance with law. There shall be no order as costs. _____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.07.03.2011. GJ
