Counsel for respondents: A.G.P. for Land Acquisition HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.12089 of 2007 ORDER:- At the interlocutory stage, the writ petition is taken up for disposal with the consent of the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Land Acquisition. In this writ petition the petitioners questioned notification dated 5.6.2007 issued under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act 1894. The sole ground on which the acquisition proceedings are assailed is that the lands, which are proposed to be acquired are agricultural lands and without their conversion for being used for non-agricultural purposes under the provisions of Andhra Pradesh Agricultural Land (Conversion for Non-Agricultural Purposes) Act, 2006, the proposed acquisition is bad. This Court rejected a similar contention by order dated 28.12.2007 in W.P.No.18881 of 2006 and Batch. In view of the same, this writ petition is dismissed with the direction that the detailed reasons contained therein shall form part of this order. The learned counsel for the petitioners stated that since they were bonafide pursuing this writ petition, they could not file their objections to the notice issued under Section 5A of the Act. In the counter affidavit filed by respondent No.3 it is mentioned that only one of the land-owners (excluding the petitioners) filed his objections and that he will conduct enquiry and submit a report to respondent No.2. Since enquiry is not yet conducted, I deem it appropriate to permit the petitioners to file their objections within a period of two weeks from today and respondent No.3 shall receive, consider and dispose of the same after giving an opportunity of personal hearing to the petitioners. Subject to the above observation, the writ petition is dismissed. ___________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Date:18.01.2008 mdaa
