In pursuance of an application made by the petitioner, the HUDA has approved and released the layout through Kukatpally Municipality and the development work as per the sanctioned lay out is in progress. However, since there is no proper approach road to Shamshiguda from the National Highway, the villagers vide representation dated 1-6-2004 requested the Government of Andhra Pradesh to form the Approach Road which passes through Sy.No.57, which is a Government land as well as the land of the petitioner in respect of which lay out has already been sanctioned. In pursuance thereof, the 3rd respondent has directed to do the needful. Subsequently, the petitioner also made a representation dated 18-11-2004 requesting to alienate the Government land situated in Sy.No.57 to an extent of Ac.0-20 guntas for the purpose of laying approach road on nominal market value. The petitioner pleads that formation of such road is essential to avoid inconvenience to the villagers.
