THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.7518 of 2011 ORDER: Respondent No.2 issued a notification, dated 08.12.2009, under Section 4 (1) of the Land Acquisition Act (for short ‘the Act’) proposing to acquire various items of property including those owned by the petitioners in Brahmanapalli Village, Gopavaram Mandal, Kadapa District for the purpose of Telugu Ganga Project. Declaration under Section 6 of the Act was also published on 06.12.2010. The award enquiry is said to be in progress. The grievance of the petitioners is that the respondents did not indicate the presence of the houses, indigo wells, bore wells etc., existing on the land. They claim to have made a representation for taking measurements thereof in the course of award enquiry and submit that no action has been taken thereon. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Land Acquisition. The petitioners do not oppose the acquisition as such. Their endeavour is only to ensure that the compensation is paid not only for the land, but also the super-structures thereon. Though the notification under Section 4 (1) and declaration under Section 6 of the Act need not deal with such aspects, in the award enquiry, the Land Acquisition Officer is supposed to take note of the structures that are existing over the land. Irrespective of the quantum of compensation that may be awarded for such structures, the measurements thereof must be mentioned in the award, so that it would be possible for the aggrieved parties to pursue the remedies under Section 18 of the Act. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that respondent No.3 shall cause measurements of various structures existing on the land of the petitioners notified for acquisition and take the same into account in his award. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt: 29.03.2011. Note: Issue cc in one week. (B/o) kdl
