THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.Y.SOMAYAJULU Writ Petition No.3707 of 2002 ORDER: 1 The grievance of the petitioners is that the respondents, without acquiring any part of their land under the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act, are trying to lay road on the property belonging to them. 2 The case of the respondents is that there is an existing pathway passing through the land of the petitioners from several years and that that pathway is being strengthened and a road is being laid on that pathway only and the contention that they are encroaching into the land of the petitioners is not correct. 3 At the time of admission of the Writ Petition on 26.02.2002 in WPMP No.4588 of 2002 a learned Judge directed the respondents not to lay road or encroach the property of the petitioners situate in Sy. Nos. 294-1, 309-1, 298-2, 302-2, 298-3 and 302-3of Tavvaripalli village, Khazipet Mandal, Cuddapah District and that the respondents if are laying the road in any government land or in the land acquired for the purpose of laying the road, are at liberty to do so. 4 Petitioners who do not have any objection for laying the road on the pathway cannot have any grievance if a road is being laid on the existing pathway. But if the respondents want to lay road on any part of the land of the petitioners, they can do so only by taking recourse to due process of law. 5 With the above observation and direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs. ------------------------- C.Y.Somayajulu, J. 04.02.2008 kvsn
