RAMANA WRIT PETITION NO : 6066 of 2008 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed questioning the action of the respondents in not considering and disposing the representation of the petitioners dated 25.2.2008 as illegal and arbitrary. The case of the petitioners is that they are the absolute owners of land admeasuring 2 4 ankanams in survey No. 122/2, Tada Kandriga, Tada Mandal, Nellore district having acquired the same through a registered will dated 4.2.1982. The petitioners allege that they made an application 11.4.1997 to the Grampanchayat for grant of permission to construct shops and since no action is taken, they filed W.P No. 8489 of 1997 which was disposed of by order dated 24.4.1997 directing the Grampanchayat to consider the said application and pass appropriate orders. Thereafter, it seems the petitioners were informed by the Executive Officer, Grampanchayat, Tada that the subject land was acquired by the Roads and Buildings Department and the National Highway Department and that the compensation was also paid. The petitioners dispute the same and allege that no notification under section 4 (1) of the Land Acquisition Act was issued and no compensation was granted to them. Now the grievance of the petitioners is that they have made an application dated 25.2.2008 to the second respondent enclosing necessary relevant documents and requesting to conduct a detailed enquiry as regards their ownership and possession over the subject property and the same is pending and no orders are passed till date. Hence, the present writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for petitioner and learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the following direction; If the application of the petitioners dated 25.2.2008 is pending, the respondents are directed to consider the same and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law, expeditiously. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ____________ N.V.RAMANA,J DATE: 11.4.2008 TVK ..... REGISTRAR // TRUE COPY // SECTION OFFICER THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N.V.
