The lands of the appellants herein of an extent of hectares 2.35.5 of wet land situated in Inamadugu village in Sy.Nos.372, 373 and 374 were acquired by the Government for the purpose of providing house-sites to the Schedule Caste, Schedule Tribe and other backward Classes pursuant to the notiﬁcation under Section 4 (1) of the Land Acquisition Act on 21-5-1980. The Land Acquisition Oﬃcer passed the award in Award No.9/1981 on 10- 12-1981 awarding the compensation at Rs.11,000/- per acre. Dissatisﬁed with the same, the claimants sought reference of the matter to the Civil Court under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act. On reference, the Civil Court enhanced the compensation from Rs.11,000/- to Rs.38,000/- per acre. It is stated that aggrieved by the self same order in O.P.No.14 of 1986, on the ﬁle of the Subordinate Judge, Kovvur the Land Acquisition Oﬃcer ﬁled A.S.No.1010/1992 before this Court, and a Division Bench of this Court by Judgment dated 31-8- 1999 allowed the appeal reducing the compensation from Rs.38,000/- per acre to Rs.33,330/- per acre. However, it is stated that the 1st appellant herein died and the L.R. Petition is ﬁled to bring the legal representatives on record. However, it is seen from the record that the same has not been pursued to bring the legal representatives of 1st appellant on record in spite of giving ample opportunity. In view of the aforesaid facts and circumstances, we are of the opinion that when the appeal ﬁled by the Land Acquisition Oﬃcer in A.S.No.1020 of 1992 against the very self same judgment of the Court below in O.P.No.14 of 1986 was allowed by the Division Bench of this Court reducing the compensation from Rs.38,000/-per acre to Rs.33,330/- per acre, to which the appellants herein are the parties, are not entitled for enhancement of the compensation. The appeal is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ______________ V.
