In the counter-affidavit filed by respondent No.8, it is inter alia stated that G.O.Rt.No.1050, dated 12.12.2007, was issued for total acquisition of partially submerged villages namely Anugonda, Ankanpalli, Dadanpally and Nagardoddi; that the acquisition of these villages is in the process; and that as soon as the acquisition of these villages is completed, R & RP for these four villages will be established and all the facilities for which they are entitled for rehabilitation will be provided after establishing the new R & RP Centres. It is further stated that the villages, which the petitioners are referring to, are not coming under full submergence and that, there is no necessity for acquisition of these villages completely as per established norms. But, after careful examination of the representation made by these villagers, the Government has given permission to acquire the said villages in full and provide R & RP, vide G.O.Rt.No.1050, dated 12.12.2007. In para No.6 of the counter-affidavit, it is submitted that all the civic amenities proposed in the action plan of R & RP are completed and all the displaced families including the petitioners were provided rehabilitation; that the petitioners will be provided all facilities as per norms and steps will be taken to provide any other facilities for which they are entitled to, duly addressing the R & RP Officer. At the hearing, learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that even though the counter-affidavit was filed as far back as 15.10.2009, so far, the respondents have not completed the R & RP and still several amenities are yet to be provided. Learned Assistant Government Pleader for Irrigation, appearing for respondent Nos.2, 5 to 7, stated that she is not informed of the present status with respect to R & RP and that, if any further facilities and amenities need to be provided, the same will be done within a reasonable time. In the light of the above submission, the Writ Petition is disposed of with the direction to respondent Nos.2 to 6 to complete R & RP in all respects in terms of the above-mentioned G.Os, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Subject to the above directions, the Writ Petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, W.P.M.P.No.21452 of 2009 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. __________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 28th September, 2011 DR
