The petitioners allege that these lands belong to petitioners and situated in Vasudevapuram, Kasinayana Mandal, Badvel Taluk, Kadapa District are proposed for acquisition for Telugu Ganga canal; that the 2nd respondent is negotiating with the respondent Nos.3 to 14 who are no way concerned with the lands and without reference to the petitioners who are the owners of lands. On instructions, the learned Government Pleader for Land Acquisition states that the lands in the survey numbers stated in the paragraph Nos.2 and 3 are not proposed for acquisition at all. The learned counsel for the petitioners does not rebut this statement made on behalf of the 2nd respondent. In the light of the statement made on behalf of the 2nd respondent by the learned Government Pleader for Land Acquisition the petitioners’ grievance has no foundation nor has the writ petition. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed at the stage of admission. No order as to costs. _________________ GODA RAGHURAM,J 25th JULY,2006 *TSNR
