Apprehending coercive action for demolishing their property, present Writ Petition is filed. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Standing Counsel for Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad. The learned Standing Counsel has placed before this Court office file showing that petitioners and others in S.P.Road area did not give their consent for giving advance possession and therefore proceedings under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 were already initiated. Therefore, the Writ Petition is misconceived. Now that the land acquisition proceedings are initiated, till they are completed, petitioners cannot be deprived of their right to enjoy the property, except in accordance with law. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. _______________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 31.8.2005 bnr Note:CC by Monday- 5.9.2005. (B.O) bnr
