THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.1275 of 2007 13.2.2007 Between: Puttamaneni Venkataiah, S/o.Late P.Venkataiah … Petitioner AND The District Collector, Nellore District And others … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.1275 of 2007 ORDER: The petitioner claims that the agricultural land admeasuring Acs.33 in survey No.331/1 and Acs.2.51 in survey No.331/4 situated at Menakur village of Nayudupet Mandal in Nellore District was assigned to his grandfather by the earstwhile Raja of Venkatagiri. The ﬁrst respondent issued notiﬁcation on 22.7.2006 for acquiring the land under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (the Act, for brevity) including the land in survey No.331 for the purpose of Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (APIIC). The petitioner alleges that in January 2007, third respondent along with his subordinate staﬀ came to the land and informed that the petitioner will be dispossessed. Aggrieved by the same, the present writ petition is filed. The matter was initially listed on 25.1.2007 and is being adjourned from that date to enable the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue (General-A) to get instructions. Today, after getting instructions, he submits that the petitioner is not concerned with the land comprised in survey No.331 and the Sub-Collector, Gudur, has already passed award under the Act. Therefore, the grievance of the petitioner cannot be redressed. If the petitioner disputes land acquisition proceedings, he has to seek reference under Section 30 of the Act or to approach the Land Acquisition Oﬃcer and stake his claim for compensation. In the absence of the same, redressal of the grievance of the petitioner, in this writ petition, would not be proper. The writ petition, with the above observations, is accordingly dismissed. No costs. _____________ (V.V.S.RAO,J) February 13, 2007. YS
