Their grievance is that though they have been displaced on account of the submergence of the village, they have not been provided house sites or homesteads so far. Reliance is placed upon G.O.Ms.No.30 Irrigation and C.A.D. (Projects Wing-TGP.1) Department, dated 15.02.1994. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Land Acquisition. Recognizing the need to rehabilitate the affected persons on account of irrigation project, namely Telugu Ganga, the Government issued the G.O. providing for establishment of a committee for the respective districts to ensure that the displaced persons are adequately rehabilitated. One of the conditions incorporated in Annexure-II is that the homesteads to all the affected families, of a minimum size of 0.20 hectares should be provided.
