K J V N PUNDAREEKAKSHUDU Counsel for the Respondent(S): 1. GP FOR LAND ACQUISITION The Court made the following: 4 THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE D.RAMESH WRIT PETITION NO: 30806 of 2025 ORDER: This writ petition is filed questioning the inaction of respondent Nos.4 and 5 in considering the representation / objection dated 04.08.2025 of the petitioner on the Preliminary Notification under Form No.VI(A) under Section 11(1) of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 (for short ‘the Act’). 2. The main grievance of the petitioner is that though the petitioner is also one of the co-sharer of the properties, surprisingly, the respondent authorities have included the name of 6th respondent only, i.e., maternal grand mother of petitioner, in the notification. Immediately, the petitioner has made her objections under Section 15 (1) of the Act, but the respondents have not passed any orders and not considered the objections filed by the petitioner. Hence the petition. 3. Considering the submissions made by both the learned counsels and on perusal of the objections filed by the petitioner, this Court is not inclined to go into the merits of the case, hence notice to respondent Nos.6 to 8 is dispensed with. It is needless to say that statute itself provides consideration of objections under Section 15(2) of the Act. The respondent authorities may consider and pass 5 appropriate orders/report under Section 15(2) of the Act before proceeding further. 4. Accordingly, this Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel miscellaneous applications, pending, if any, shall also stand closed. __________________ JUSTICE D.RAMESH Dt:07.11.2025 SJ 6 75 THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE D.
