ORDER1. This Full Bench has been constituted to consider mainly the question whether a fresh notification issued under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act (hereinafter, referred to as 'L.A.Act') can be issued without withdrawing or cancelling the earlier notification which stood vitiated by the failure to publish its substance in the locality within the stipulated time. The learned single Judge allowed the writ petitions holding that the earlier notification under Section 4(1) subsisted notwithstanding such failure and that the fresh notification could only be issued after the withdrawal of the earlier one under Section 48 of the L.A.Act. When the writ appeals filed against the common judgment came up for hearing before the Division Bench consisting of Ramanujulu Naidu and Ranga Reddy, JJ., the learned Judges, after having referred to certain observations in two judgments of the Supreme Court felt that in view of the importance of the question, the cases are fit to be decided by a...

ORDERP. Ramakrishnam Raju, J.1. The only question that arises for consideration is, whether an appeal lies to a Division Bench against an order made by a single Judge on an interlocutory application in a second appeal2. The two-fold contentions advanced before us are:(1) Right of appeal being a statutory right cannot be rendered nugatory by a narrow interpretation of the statutory provisions in respect of appellate jurisdiction; and(2) An order made in an interlocutory application in a second appeal is not an order passed in exercise of the appellate jurisdiction but one made in exercise of the original jurisdiction and therefore, an appeal is maintainable to a Bench of two Judges.3. Before we answer this question, it is relevant to notice a few facts which led to the filing of the above Letters Patent Appeal.4. The appellant filed S.A. 388/91 questioning the decree and Judgment passed by the Additional Chief Judge, City Civil Court, at Secunderabad in A.S.263/87, reversing the decree ...
