The learned counsel for the petitioner has contended that without issuing any notice, the respondents are proposing to construct a sub- station in the petitioner’s land and that they have not acquired his land in accordance with the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, and therefore, he prays to allow the writ petition. On the other hand, the learned standing counsel for the respondents has contended that the petitioner’s representation is pending and an opportunity may be given to the respondents to dispose of the representation in accordance with law. The claim of the petitioner is that he is the owner of Ac.03.00 cents of land situated in Vangimalla Village,Veeraballi Mandal, Kadapa District in S.No.19.

According to the petitioner, no notice is given to him and the respondents have not acquired the said extent of land in accordance with law. Therefore, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I consider it appropriate to direct the respondents not to make any further constructions in the land of the petitioner and if the respondents propose to make any constructions, the land may be acquired in accordance with law. The writ petition is disposed of in terms of the above direction. No costs. _______________ 20.09.2005 bcj
