IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) FRIDAY, THE SIXTEENTH DAY OF APRIL TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE A.GOPAL REDDY CIVIL REVISION PETITION No. 755 OF 2008 Between: The Land Acquisition Officer and Special Deputy Collector, Y.R.P.Unit-3, Peddapuram. … Petitioner And Nakkina Lovaraju and two others … Respondents This Court made the following: HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE A.GOPAL REDDY CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.755 of 2008 ORDER:- This revision is directed against the order dated 27.11.2007 passed by the Senior Civil Judge, Peddapuram in allowing I.A.No.881 of 2007 in O.P.No.71 of 1991 filed for restoration of the O.P., which was dismissed for default on 23.12.1999. Admittedly the O.P., which was referred under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 for enhancement of the compensation, was dismissed on 23.12.1999 and the present application for restoration of the same was filed on 23.10.2007, nearly eight years after the dismissal. For no fault of the Land Acquisition Officer, he cannot be saddled with the burden of paying interest in the event the enhancement of the compensation is made for the acquired land in the O.P. Learned counsel for the respondents/claimants fairly conceded to the suggestion made by the Court that the claimants will not claim any interest from the date of dismissal of O.P. for default, till it is restored by the impugned order i.e., 27.11.2007. The docket order passed by the trial court is modified as under: “The O.P. is restored to its file on condition that the claimants are not entitled to any interest on the enhanced compensation, if any, made from the date of dismissal of the O.P. for default i.e., 23.12.1999 till its restoration i.e., 27.11.2007.” Accordingly, the civil revision petition is disposed of. No costs. __________________ A.GOPAL REDDY, J 16th April 2010 lmv
