LOKUR AND THE HON’BLE SHRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED WRIT APPEAL NO.862 OF 2011 DATED:17.11.2011 Between: Kothwal … Appellant And The District Collector Medak at Sangareddy and others … Respondents THE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SHRI MADAN B. LOKUR AND THE HON’BLE SHRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED WRIT APPEAL NO.862 OF 2011 JUDGMENT: (per the Hon’ble the Chief Justice Shri Madan B. Lokur) In this writ appeal, the dispute is with regard to Ac.1.10 guntas of land in Sy.No.524 in Siddipet Village and Mandal, Medak District. 2. The above said land along with other land to the extent of Ac.5.02 guntas was voluntarily given by the villagers for the purpose of road widening. This was sometime in 1978. 3. Sometime in 2009, the appellant preferred a writ petition praying that the acquisition of the land by the respondents is illegal to the extent of the land belonging to the appellant, i.e., Ac.1.10 guntas. 4. The learned single Judge noted that apart from the fact that the land was voluntarily given by the appellant as well as others, there was an abnormal delay of thirty (30) years in approaching this Court for relief. On this ground, the learned single Judge declined to interfere in the writ petition. 5. In view of the delay in the matter, we are not inclined to disturb the order passed by the learned single Judge. 6. Dismissed. Interim application is also dismissed. __________________ MADAN B.
