It is her grievance that the respondents, without following due process of law, are trying to lay a road, by diverting the existing road, through her land. Hence, she seeks appropriate directions. When the matter came up for consideration on 11.09.2008, at the request of the learned Government Pleader for Roads & Buildings appearing for the respondents, it was posted today to enable him to get instructions. Today, on instructions, the learned Government Pleader produced the brief note of the second respondent, namely, the Executive Engineer (R&B), Gudur, and submitted that the newly proposed stretch is not passing in Survey No.20/1C of Annambaka Village which belongs to the petitioner, that if the newly proposed stretch of 100 meters is laid, the disputed length of another 400 meters ahead will be free from litigation, and that if 100 meters new stretch and 400 meters of objected stretch is completed, the entire road can be used by the public without any interruption. He, therefore, submitted that even if the existing road is laid in new alignment of 100 meters length, the petitioner’s land in Survey No.20/1C would not be aﬀected at all. The above submission is placed on record and the writ petition is closed. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date: 25.09.2008 VGB
