THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.24072 of 2008 ORDER: The petitioner is the owner of 7 cents of wet land in Sy.No.17/2 of Ponnada Village, U. Kothapalli Mandal, East- Godavari District. The said land is notiﬁed for acquisition, for providing pathway to the proposed colony of weaker sections, through notification dated 17-06-2008. The petitioner raised an objection for acquisition, and filed a representation. The same was dealt with, and through order dated 26-09-2008, the District Collector, the 1st respondent herein, rejected the objection raised by the petitioner. The entire acquisition proceedings are challenged in this writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, and learned Government Pleader for Land Acquisition. Small extent of land, belonging to the petitioner, is proposed to be acquired, for providing pathway to an area of about 9 acres, divided into small house sites. The grievance of the petitioner is mostly on the ground that the acquisition of the strip, would eﬀect irrigation facilities to his remaining land. It is also stated that the land is covered by trees of different kinds. On his part, the District Collector expressed his willingness to pay compensation for the trees and other structures. The apprehension of the petitioner, that the irrigation facilities would be eﬀected, can be taken care of, by directing that the respondents shall cause a pipeline be laid in the acquired land, to ensure continuity of water supply. With the above observation, the writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.05-11-2008. KO
