HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY W.P.No.25691 of 2010 Date: 1-12-2011 Between: Soyam Muthamma and another .. Petitioners and The Land Acquisition Officer-cum- Special Deputy Collector, Land Acquisition, Indira Sagar (Polavaram) Project, Bhadrachalam, Khammam District and others .. Respondents Counsel for petitioners : Sri Ch. Ramesh Counsel for respondent Nos.1 to 3 : Assistant Government Pleader for Land Acquisition Counsel for respondent Nos.4 to 6 : Sri Kowturu Vinay Kumar The Court made the following: ORDER: This Writ Petition is ﬁled for a mandamus to declare the action of respondent No.1 in not referring the dispute to the Civil Court under Section 30 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short "the Act"). The petitioners sought for a consequential direction to respondent No.2 not to disburse cheques in favour of respondent Nos.4 to 6 and direct respondent No.1 to refer the dispute to the Civil Court by depositing the compensation. At the hearing, the Assistant Government Pleader for Land Acquisition, on instructions, submitted that following the award, compensation amounts were already disbursed on 28-10-2010 by way of cheques to respondent Nos.4 to 6. In their aﬃdavit, the petitioners have pleaded that they have already ﬁled O.S.No.113/2009 before respondent No.2 as there was no response from respondent No.1 to the claim petition ﬁled by them and that the said suit is pending. Inasmuch as the compensation amounts were already disbursed, it is not possible for reference of the dispute to the Civil Court under Section 30 of the Act. Since the petitioners have already ﬁled O.S.No.113/2009 before respondent No.2, wherein the claim for compensation has been made, the petitioners are permitted to pursue the said suit. Subject to the above observation, the Writ Petition is disposed of. As a sequel, interim order dated 8-10-2010 is vacated and WPMP No.32807/2010 and WVMP No.2467/2011 are dismissed as infructuous. ________________________ Justice C.V.
