Learned counsel for the petitioner states that in pursuance to impugned two Notifications of even dated 18.05.2026, issued under Section 11 of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 (for short, “the Act”), inasmuch as the petitioner’s properties situated in Survey No.266/2 of Venkatapalem Village, Thullur Mandal and Survey Nos.181-1, 182-1, 183-1 of Mandadam Village, Thullur Mandal, are sought to be acquired. Objections have been submitted on 26.05.2026 during Grama Sabha and later on 02.06.2026 before the 3rd respondent and that the said objections have not been considered so far and that the respondents are proceeding with acquisition proceedings. Therefore, learned counsel for the petitioner would urge to direct the respondents to consider the objections raised by the petitioner before taking a final decision in issuing declaration under Section 19 of the Act. 3 CGR, J. W.P.No.18772 of 2026 He, therefore, submits that it would suffice to dispose of the writ petition with the above directions. 3. On instructions, Mrs.S.Pranathi, learned Standing Counsel for 2nd respondent – AP CRDA; and learned Assistant Government Pleader appearing for respondents 3, 4 and 5, would submit that as per impugned Notifications, the time-frame for submitting objections is 60 days and now that since the objections of petitioner have already been received, the same would be considered strictly in accordance with the enquiry contemplated under Section 15 of the Act. That the respondents are in the process of undertaking such exercise and only, thereafter, the proceedings would be taken to next stage of issuance of final declaration, if any. 4. In view of the aforesaid statement, with the consent of all the learned counsels appearing on either side, the writ petition stands disposed of directing the respondents to consider the objections of the petitioner, in particular, as submitted on 02.06.2026 in the process of enquiry as contemplated under Section 15 of the Act and pass appropriate speaking orders thereon. No order as to costs. As a sequel, miscellaneous petitions pending consideration, if any, in this case shall stand closed. _____________________________ JUSTICE CHALLA GUNARANJAN cs
