The petitioner claims that the said B.Bala Nagi Reddy died intestate and that he is entitled to 1/4th share in the acquired property. Though he made a claim petition before the 2nd respondent, his claim has not been considered and apprehending that the 2nd respondent may pass an award in favour of respondents 3 and 4 herein, the present writ petition is filed seeking a direction to refer the dispute under Section 30 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. Learned Government Pleader for Land Acquisition on instructions stated that the award enquiry is pending before the 2nd respondent. The material placed before this Court shows that the petitioner has submitted his claim dated 23.06.2011 through his advocate by registered post. Hence it is necessary for the 2nd respondent to consider the petitioner’s claim in accordance with law while passing orders as provided under Section 11 of the Act. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion as to the entitlement of the petitioner to the 1/4th share claimed by him, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider the petitioner’s claim submitted by way of legal notice dated 23.06.2011 and take appropriate action in accordance with law.
