As can be seen from the material on record, a notification under Section 4(1) of the Act was issued on 4-11-2004 invoking the urgency clause. The petitioner states that subsequently a notice under Sections 9(3) and 10 of the Act was issued in the name of his father as pattedar of the lands and directing him to submit objections, if any. The only objection raised by him is that the extents in each survey numbers have not been clearly mentioned and the name of his father was also wrongly shown. The learned Government Pleader for Land Acquisition under instructions states that as a matter of fact in pursuance of the impugned notice under Sections 9(3) and 10 of the Act, the petitioner has participated in the award enquiry on 27-12- 2004 and his statement was also recorded by the Land Acquisition Officer. He also states that the petitioner never filed any objections. Since the petitioner had ample opportunity to raise the objections, with regard to the extents of the lands in question, no case is made out warranting interference of this Court at this stage. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs. _____________________ 21st February, 2005. gbs To 1 The Collector & District Magistrate, Guntur, Guntur District 2 The Revenue Divisional Officer, Tenali, Guntur District 3.
