THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.4176 OF 1998 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a direction to the respondents to initiate proceedings under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short “the Act”), and pay compensation along with statutory benefits from the date of acquiring surrounding lands abutting Sy.No.231/2 of Madhapur village, Nirmal mandal, Adilabad district. It is alleged by the petitioner that after acquisition of surrounding lands, his land situated in Sy.No.231/2 was rendered useless and, therefore, he was forced to abandon cultivation. It is claimed that since the land was rendered useless, he is entitled for compensation under the Act. Pursuant to Rule nisi ordered, the 2nd respondent filed a counter affidavit denying the plea of the petitioner that his land was rendered useless due to flow of water from Sriramasagar Project Reservoir. It is categorically pleaded that the land in question was not at all affected and, therefore, the claim of the petitioner is misconceived. The petitioner has not chosen to file any affidavit in reply contracting the version of the respondents in their counter, and no other material is placed before this court to show that due to construction of the Sriramasagar Project Reservoir the land belonging to him had been rendered useless. In the circumstances, the writ petition is without any substance and the same is hereby dismissed. No costs. __________ (G. ROHINI). 2nd March, 2007. Kgr THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.
