...RESPONDENTS
ORDER:
The petitioner submitted several representations seeking realignment of Greenfield Radial Road-II connecting the Outer Ring Road near Kotwalguda to Nacharam on NH-167 stating that the petitioner would suffer irreparable loss, as his agricultural land admeasuring Ac.7.32 guntas in Sy.No.25, Kotwalguda Village, Shamshabad Mandal, would get affected in the road alignment. The representations of the petitioner were rejected stating that the request of the petitioner cannot be considered and the petitioner will be paid compensation under the provisions of the Right to Fair

Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 (for short'the Act').
2. Mr. V. Siddhartha Goud, learned counsel representing Mr. V. Narasimha Goud, learned standing counsel for HMDA, submitted that the writ petition is not maintainable. The petitioner is having right to oppose acquisition when notification is issued under Section 19 of the Act and moreover, the petitioner has an effective alternate remedy to plead his case after notice under Section 15(1) of the Act is issued.
3. Mr. B. Ivlayur Reddy, learned senior counsel, appearing for Mr. D. Ramakrishna, learned counsel for the petitioner, submitted that valuable property of the petitioner is being acquired without conducting proper enquiry. The representatlons of the petitioner were disposed of in a mechanical manner and the impugned intimation is liable to be set aside.
4. Taking note of the fact that letter dated 04.05.2026 is only an intimation to the petitioner stating that his request for realignment cannot be considered and it was not issued with reference to the provisions of any statute, the writ petition is disposed of. The petitioner is always at liberty to challenge the acquisition proceedings if issued under the provisions of the Act and also present his case in response to the objections during enquiry
