HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM W.P.NO. 5269 OF 2007 DATED: 15.3.2007 Between: Syed Shahabuddin … Petitioner and Government of A.P., represented by its Chief Secretary and others … Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM W.P.NO.5269 OF 2007 ORAL ORDER: The petitioner’s allegation is that his family lands in an extent of Ac.220 in Sy.Nos. 218, 219, 220, 222, 249, 161, 252/2 and 252/3 at Kuppalguda, Khajaguda and Manikonda villages in Ranga Reddy District, have been occupied by the respondents for the formation of the “Outer Ring Road”. The petitioner alleges that no notification for acquisition has been issued. According to the petitioner, he and his sisters are the owners and possessors of various extents of land. The sisters are not the petitioners herein; only the petitioner is. According to the oral argument on behalf of the petitioner, about 4 months back respondents had occupied the lands and dispossessed the petitioner. If that be so, the petitioner has an appropriate alternative and efficacious remedy by way of seeking an injunctive relief or if there be any potential dispute as to the ownership of the lands, a declaratory relief and injunctive relief. A writ petition does not seem to be the appropriate remedy. This court is not inclined to exercise the discretionary relief, under Art.226 of the Constitution. The writ petition is dismissed at the stage of admission with liberty to the petitioner to pursue the appropriate remedies. No costs. ------------------------------- GODA RAGHURAM, J Date: 15.3.2007 cvm
