1. Anandapu Tirupathi S/o Bhoomaiah, and others … Petitioners AND

1. The State of Telangana, and others … Respondents

ORDER

The case of the petitioners, precisely as per the writ affidavit, is that in the first week of April 2021, they first became aware—purely by chance—of a Section 3A notification published in Gazette No. 10162(E) dated 02.03.2021, which had appeared in newspapers on 25.03.2021, proposing acquisition of lands in approximately 10 villages in Chityal, Mogullapally, and Tekumatla mandals, including portions of the petitioners’ lands. The notification, however, contained only survey number-wise extents and lacked landowner details, preventing them from filing meaningful objections. Nevertheless, they submitted preliminary objections within the stipulated time to the competent authority, expressing their unwillingness to part with their lands and proposing, as an alternative, the expansion of an existing highway rather than the construction of a new one. These objections were reiterated during a discussion held on 31.
