THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition Nos.4704&5840 of 2009 COMMON ORDER: In these two writ petitions, a drat notification dated 02.02.2005 issued under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act (for short ‘the Act’) and the consequential proceedings in relation to the lands of the petitioners in Survey Nos.314 and 315 of Dorasanipadu Villge, Dwaraka Tirumala Mandal, West Godavari District are challenged. The petitioners state that they are the owners of the land in the said survey numbers and they have traced their title to the property. According to them, through the impugned notification, the Government proposed to acquire Ac.103.00 of land in different survey numbers of Dorasanipadu Village for the development of Sri Venkateswara Swami Temple, Dwaraka Tirumala. The petitioners have referred to certain writ petitions that were filed by the owners of other lands included in the notification and the orders passed therein. Their grievance is that they have not been put on notice, much less their names were mentioned in the notification. The respondents filed counter affidavit denying the allegations. It is stated that the notification under Section 4(1) of the Act was followed by declaration under Section 6 of the Act and thereafter, award was passed. It is stated that as regards the lands covered by the writ petitions challenging the notification, separate proceedings are initiated and that the petitioners cannot challenge the proceedings in respect of their lands at this stage. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners, learned Government Pleader for Land Acquisition and the learned Standing Counsel for the Temple. It is no doubt true that challenging the 4(1) notification referred to above, W.P.No.8680 of 2005 was filed before this Court mainly urging that the enquiry under Section 5-A of the Act was dispensed with, contrary to law and that the writ petition was disposed of directing that the enquiry be held. On their part, the respondents have conducted the enquiry in respect of the land covered by the decision. So far as the other lands, including those of the petitioners, are concerned, the proceedings have become final, so much so the award was also passed. Even assuming that there is any illegality or infirmity in the proceedings vis-à-vis the lands of the petitioners, no relief can be granted at this stage, since award was already passed. Therefore, the writ petitions are dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. __________ 03.06.2010 JSU THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition Nos.4704&5840 of 2009 Date: 03.06.2010 JSU
