THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.24506 of 2007 ORDER: Although the matter is listed under the caption ‘interlocutory’, at the request of the learned counsel on either side, the Writ Petition itself is taken up for hearing and being disposed of by this order. This Writ Petition is filed seeking a mandamus by way of directions to the respondents to deposit entire compensation amount payable to the petitioner pursuant to judgment, dated 01.03.1999 rendered by this Court in Appeal No.1347 of 1991, to the credit of E.P.No.101 of 2003 in O.P.No.13 of 1989. The petitioner’s land admeasuring Acs.7.00 cents covered by Revisional Survey No.216/1B of Gopalapuram Village was acquired for the purpose of construction of 33/11 KV Electrical Substation. Possession was taken and the Land Acquisition Officer/Revenue Divisional Officer, Kovvur passed Award No.1 of 1988 on 31.01.1988 fixing the compensation of Rs.14,000/- per acre, as against which, the matter was referred under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 and the reference Court has awarded compensation @ Rs.50/- per sq.yard vide its order, dated 24.01.1991 passed in O.P.No.13 of 1989. As against the award of the reference Court, the Andhra Pradesh Electricity Board has filed appeal before this Court in Appeal No.1347 of 1991, which in turn was partly allowed on 01.03.1999 by reducing the compensation from Rs.50/- per sq.yard to Rs.1,10,000/- per acre. It is the grievance of the petitioner that the respondents are not depositing the compensation amount even as per the rate fixed by this Court in Appeal No.1347 of 1991. In the counter-affidavit filed by the Superintending Engineer, Operation, Eluru, West Godavari District, on behalf of the third respondent, it is stated that the respondents have deposited excess amount than the amount of compensation awarded as per the judgment and decree in Appeal No.1347 of 1991, as such, they are entitled to refund of the excess amount. It is further stated that the Andhra Pradesh Electricity Board filed E.A.No.285 of 2002 in E.P.No.19 of 1991 and the orders passed therein were not brought to the notice of this Court. It is also stated that in the E.A., the respondents have filed a calculation memo indicating the compensation amount deposited into the Court and the amount to be recovered from the petitioner. When there is a dispute with regard to payment of compensation by the respondents, the petitioner cannot invoke the jurisdiction of this Court seeking directions to the respondents for such payment. On the one hand, the petitioner pleaded that the compensation amount is not deposited by the respondents in accordance with the judgment and decree in Appeal No.1347 of 1991, and, on the other, the respondents have stated in the counter-affidavit that they have already deposited excess amount of compensation payable to the petitioner. In that view of the matter, leaving open to the petitioner to file appropriate calculation memo in the E.P. proceedings and workout his remedies as available to him under law, the Writ Petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 9th AUGUST, 2011. kvni
