THE HONBLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.10736 of 2008 ORAL ORDER: The petitioners claim title and possession in respect of the property bearing House No.6-97 together with open land admeasuring 0 . 0 3 guntas situated at Chinchaltana village, Sircilla Mandal, Karimnagar district. The said property was acquired under the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short, “the Act”) for the purpose of submergence under Middle Maneru Dam. The grievance of the petitioners is that though they made a representation to the 1st respondent-Land Acquisition Officer on 5.5.2008 stating that they are half share holders of the property in question, without considering their claim, the 1st respondent is proceeding with the enquiry and is likely to pass an award under Section 11 of the Act. Hence, this writ petition seeking a direction to the 1st respondent to consider the claim of the petitioners by permitting them to participate in the award enquiry. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioners as well as the learned Government Pleader for Land Acquisition appearing for the 1st respondent. Since, admittedly, petitioners made a representation dated 5.5.2008 to the 1st respondent and the award enquiry is still pending, without expressing any opinion as to the entitlement of the petitioners as claimed, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider the petitioners claim vide representation dated 5.5.2008 while passing the award and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. No costs. Kgr 19.06.2008.
