IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH, AT HYDERABAD THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE P.S. NARAYANA WRIT PETITION No. 14 OF 2008 Date:04.01.2008 BETWEEN: Velagapudi Venkateswara rao …. PETITIONER And 1. The District Collector, Krishna District, and others. …. RESPONDENTS ORAL ORDER: Heard both the counsel. This Writ Petition is filed for a Writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in not giving opportunity to raise objections under 5-A enquiry as illegal, arbitrary, unjust and contrary to law and consequently direct the respondents to give opportunity to raise objections under 5-A enquiry and consider the objections that were raised by the petitioner during 5-A enquiry. Several factual details had been narrated in the affidavit filed along with the writ petition. The main grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition is that he was not given any opportunity to raise objections in the enquiry conducted under Section 5-A of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short ‘the Act’). In the light of the same, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the respondents to give an opportunity to the petitioner to raise objections, conduct due enquiry under Section 5-A of the Act and dispose of the same in accordance with law. There shall be no order as to costs. __________________ (P.S. NARAYANA, J.) 4th January, 2008 Js.
