THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.7339 of 2008 ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed with the prayer, which reads as under: “For the reasons stated in the accompanying affidavit, the petitioners pray that this Hon’ble Court may be pleased to issue a writ, order or direction more particularly one in the nature of Writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in not permitting the petitioners to participate in the award enquiry for entitlement of compensation payable for the acquisition of lands of Acs.45.84 cents in Sy.Nos.280/1, 280/2, 281/1, 306, 310/3, 345/2A, 381/1B, 310/1, 318, 320/1, 257/A , 258/A, 258/B and 270/5 of Kalanuthala Village pursuant to notification in RCB 1/705/2007 dt. 15-12-2007 as illegal, irregular, arbitrary, irrational and violation of the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act 1894 and offends articles 14, 21 and 300-A of constitution of India and consequently direct the respondents to permit the petitioners to participate in award enquiry pending before the 2nd respondent pursuant to said notification.” It is the case of the petitioners that though they are entitled for award of compensation with regard to aforesaid lands, they are not being allowed to participate in the award enquiry pursuant to acquisition proceedings initiated under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. In the counter-affidavit, the respondents have stated that the award was already passed by conducting necessary enquiry and the matters with regard to disputed claims were referred to the civil Court. As much as it is pleaded that the award was already passed with regard to the lands in question, while it is open for the petitioners to work out their remedies in the civil Court in view of passing of the award, no direction can be issued as prayed for in the Writ Petition. Subject to the above observation, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 20th SEPTEMBER, 2011. kvni
