HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITON NO. 4720 OF 2005 Thursday, the Third day of March, Two Thousand and Eleven Between Kumbala Linga Reddy Petitioner AND Siddipet Municipality, Rep. by its Commissioner, Siddipet, Medak District and another Respondents ORDER: The only grievance of the petitioner is that the respondents are seeking to dig water pipeline through his plot to an extent of 437.66 Sq. yards in Sy. No. 1813, situated at Prashanthnagar, Siddipet, Medak District, without acquiring the land and without following due process of law. A counter is filed by the second respondent Gram Panchayat stating that the total extent of land in Sy. No. 1813 is Ac.5.17½ guntas and the said land is covered within the limits of Gram Panchayath and the remaining area is covered by the Municipality, Siddipet. The Gram Panchayath, Prashanthnagar is providing drinking water facility to the residents of the area and the laying of pipelines had already been completed. Insofar as the grievance of the petitioner is concerned, it is stated that no part of the land of the petitioner is taken away or affected by reason of the laying of the pipelines. The pipelines have been laid within the limits of the Prashanthnagar Gram Panchayath area. It is stated that no part of the land of the petitioner was affected due to the laying of pipelines. Admittedly, no reply is filed to the counter filed by the second respondent. Therefore, in the facts and circumstances of the case, it cannot be said that the land of the petitioner is either affected or used in any way for laying the pipeline. The writ petition, therefore, is devoid of merits and is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. ___________________ Justice V.Eswaraiah March 03, 2011 MAS
