THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION NO.11790 OF 2010 ORDER: Heard Sri Koona Reddy Anji Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. At their request, the Writ Petition is being disposed of at the stage of admission. The petitioner claims to have been assigned land by the Government. It is his grievance that, despite the land assigned to him earlier being resumed, though the compensation amount was agreed to be paid by the Government, and a cheque towards the compensation amount payable was made ready, the said cheque was not issued to him, on the ground that had he failed to produce the original Pattadar Pass Book. The petitioner would contend that, since the original Pattadar Pass Book was lost, he had filed a Xerox copy thereof and that this Court should direct the respondent to issue the cheque based on the Xerox copy of the Pattadar Pass Book. It is not for this Court to decide as to what are the documents which should be examined by the competent authority to satisfy himself as to whether lands were assigned to the petitioner and whether, on its resumption, he is entitled for payment of compensation, for these all are matters which the respondent herein is required to determine. Since the petitioner claims that the original Pattadar Pass Book was lost, the respondent shall examine the petitioner’s contention, the Revenue records concerned and, in case, he is satisfied that the land which have been resumed was, in fact assigned to the petitioner earlier, and that the petitioner is entitled for payment of compensation, to consider payment of compensation to him in accordance with law. Needless to state that the entire exercise in this regard, including an enquiry being made into the genuineness of the petitioner’s claim of being an assignee and of his being entitled for payment of compensation, shall be completed, and a decision taken in accordance with law within a period of two {2} months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, disposed of. However, in the circumstances, without costs. _______________________ (RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J) 11th June 2010 RRB
