It appears that the petitioners are agriculturistsand owns different extents of lands in surveynumbers mentioned above. While so, the 1[st]respondent has proposed to construct a canal onBima Project, which is named as Rajeev LiftIrrigation Scheme Project-II. Several propertieshave been acquired for the said purpose, which arecoming under submergence under the said project. The properties belonging to the petitioners havenot been acquired by the respondents at any pointof time by issuing notification under Section 4 (1) ofthe Act. It is their contention that no draftnotification and no draft declaration proposals wereissued for the purpose of acquiring the petitioners’properties. However, on 8.12.2006 when thepetitioners were attending to their agriculturalactivities, the 3[rd] and 4[th] respondents along withone Tirupathi Reddy have come to their lands andstarted digging the properties stating that the aboveproperty is being acquired for the purpose of Bima Project. The petitioners questioned their right to enter into the property without issuing anynotification under Section 4 (1) of the Act. But, therespondents have sought to take possession of theproperties from the petitioners forcibly by statingthat notification and the consequential proceedingswould be initiated later on, and in view of urgency,possession of the properties would be taken.
In view of the above, without expressing anyopinion on merits, respondents are directed not tointerfere with the peaceful possession andenjoyment of the properties of the petitioners in theirrespective survey numbers i.e.,283,284,285,287,288, 290, 291, 292, 294, 295 &296 situated at Khanaipally Village, KothakotaMandal, Mahabubnagar District, otherwise than due process of law, neither by digging theproperties nor by any other activities.
