Pandu. ... Petitioner and 1. The Chairman, Hyderabad Urban Development Authority, Begumpet, Hyderabad and 2 others. ... Respondents ORDER: Petitioner, who is the owner of an extent of 271 square yards in Plot No.18 in Sy.No.149 situated at Kattedan village, Rajendra Nagar Mandal, Rangareddy District approached this Court and filed the present writ petition stating that though the said land is acquired for the purpose of laying inner ring road, no award has been passed. 2. A detailed counter affidavit is filed wherein respondents while admitting the land acquisition proceedings, stated that only an extent of Ac.0-03 gts. equivalent to 350 square yards from out of Acs.1-20 gts. situated in Sy.No.149 alone is acquired and as there is a dispute about the title, the matter was referred to the Civil Court under Section 30 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, ‘the Act’). 3. Heard learned counsel for the parties. 4. If really the land in question belongs to petitioner and the land for which Section 4(1) Notification was issued is one and the same, petitioner is entitled to the relief as prayed for. In that view of the matter, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to respondents to pass an award, if really the land belonging to petitioner i.e. 271 square yards in Plot No.18 in Sy.No.149 of Kattedan village is acquired, and pay compensation to petitioner as per the provisions of the Act. 5. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. _______________________________ JUSTICE GOPALAKRISHNA TAMADA Dt.18-04-2007 GLV
