Counsel for the Petitioners:MR.V.VENKATARAMANA Counsel for the Respondent Nos 1to 5.: GP FOR LAND ACQUISITION The Court made the following : THE HON’BLE SMT JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI W.P.NO.4815 OF 1993 ORDER: This writ petition has been filed by the petitioners seeking to quash the award of the 2nd respondent in Ref.No.F.492/88 dated 7-3-1991 and to direct the respondents to abide by the findings of the earlier Land Acquisition Officer and the Judgment of this Court in W.P.No.7700 of 1984 dated 13-03-1986 and determine and pay compensation to the petitioners in respect of the houses and others structures which were acquired in the year 1980 for the purpose of Somasila Project, Kadapa district. A brief factual backdrop of the case is that the petitioners’ lands were acquired by the respondents for the purpose of wit submersion under Somasila project by issuing 4 (1) notification under the Land Acquisition Act, (for brevity ‘the Act’). Inasmuch as they are not paid any compensation, all the petitioners have filed W.P.No.7700 of 1984. The same was disposed of directing the respondents to pay compensation in accordance with the provisions of the Act. Questioning the same, the 1st respondent preferred an appeal which was dismissed and the matter was carried in appeal before the Supreme Court. It has been observed by the Supreme Court that the Land Acquisition Officer should satisfy himself about the title of the petitioners to the properties concerned before awarding compensation to them. In spite of the same, the petitioners are not paid any compensation and as such they filed contempt cases against the respondents. CC. No.378 of 1990 was disposed of on 12-11-1990 directing the respondents to accept the evidence from the petitioners in proof of their title to the structures if not already produced and giving liberty to the petitioners to adduce evidence and directing the land Acquisition Officer to pass an award. It is further case of the petitioners that in fact the petitioners were evicted from their respective properties in the year 1983 itself and due to efflux of time, the properties, which are mostly thatched houses were got damaged. But the notification under Section4 (1) of the Act would clearly show the names of the petitioners and their respective properties. As the judgment in WP No.7700 of 1984 has become final, the petitioners are entitled to receive the compensation in respect of all the lands including Government poramboke lands also. Ultimately the impugned order was passed to the effect that no structures were found and the petitioners were not entitled for any compensation. Then the petitioners submitted a representation dated 19-4-91 seeking reference under Section 18 of the Act. But the 2nd respondent failed to refer the same. Hence, the writ petition. Heard the learned counsel on either. It is contended by the learned counsel for the petitioner that in spite of the directions issued by this Court in W.P.No.7700 of 1984 to pay the compensation to the petitioners in accordance with the provisions of the Act, the respondents-authorities have not paid the amount. It is further contended that in spite of the directions issued in the contempt case filed by the petitioners, the respondents-authorities have not paid any compensation and meanwhile, the order impugned herein has been passed depriving the rights of the petitioners. On a consideration of the entire material available on record, it is obvious that there is no dispute that W.P.7700 of 1984 has been filed by the petitioners and the same was disposed of with a direction to pay the compensation in accordance with law and aggrieved by the same, the respondents-authorities have preferred an appeal before the Apex Court. As could be seen from the averments of the writ petition, it is mentioned that the Apex Court has observed as under: “The Land Acquisition Officer shall satisfy himself about the title of the petitioners to the properties concerned before awarding any compensation.” I have perused the order impugned which has been passed pursuant to the orders of the Apex Court. As rightly observed in the order impugned, the structures under reference are not applicable to the assessed waste and poramboke lands which are Government lands and also assigned lands, which cannot be acquired under the provisions of the Act and over which the petitioners will not have any title. Neither the advocate nor most of the petitioners except a few appeared for enquiry at the time of inspection of their structures. It clearly shows that the petitioners have not been evincing any interest with regard to the claim in question by producing any relevant material as to the title thereon. It is also further observed that except the 20 structures there were neither the structures nor any traces of the structures were found on the ground at all. As could be seen from the order impugned, it is manifest that the structures were notified for acquisition, in G.O.Rt.No.2095, I&P Wing dated 02.12.1980 and G.O.Rt.No.2834092, dated 28.11.1990 and according to the order of the District Collector in Circular No.II, D9, 7571/80, dated 30.9.1981, the compensation will not be paid for the structures which were notified but not existing at the time of passing of the award. Therefore, the structures were withdrawn from acquisition. The said withdrawal proposals were approved in G.O.Rt.No.1244, dated 22.12.1984 and G.O.Rt.No:871, dated 4.8.1984 and therefore, the structures were not acquired under the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act. The 2nd respondent having held that the petitioners have not proved their title over the structures, passed the order impugned. For the reasons stated in the fore going paragraphs, I am of the opinion that the order impugned does not suffer from any legal infirmities and the same is passed after due enquiry and following the due process of law and as such, it does not warrant any interference by this Court. Therefore, the writ petition is devoid of merits and is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, this writ petition is dismissed. No costs. ____________ 16-12-2004 rkk To 1.The Irrigation & Power Department, Government of A.P.,Secretariat,Hyderabad. 2.The Special Deputy Collector, (Land Acquisition) Somasila Project Unit-IV, Rajampet, Cuddapah district. 3.The Superintendent Engineer, Irrigation Department Somasila Project, Nellore. 4.The Executive Engineer, Division-4 (Irrigation) Somasila Project, Atmakur, Nellore District. 5.The special Collector, Telugu Ganga Project,Nellore. 6.
