The respondents have acquired an extent of Acs.1-05 cents for laying the road and as no compensation was paid, he got issued legal notice dated 15.9.2003 to the respondents 1 and 2 – The District Collector and the Mandal Revenue Officer. As there was no response, he filed W.P.No.21793/2004 before this court and by this court by order dated 15.9.2003 directing the respondents to issue reply to the legal notice dated 15.9.2003 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law on his claim for compensation expeditiously, preferably within a period of three months from the date of that order.

The contents of the said proceedings are extracted as under for better appreciation: “I invite your attention to the reference cited. In response to your reference 3rd cited that if it is established by the survey authorities the formed road is falling in any survey extent, that area may be acquired by compensation. I have treated the same as requisition since the M.R.O./Survey Departments both have identified the land as patta land in Sy.No.148/1 to an extent of 0.51 cents covered by metal road formed by Panchayat Raj Division, Nandyal. I have directed the Mandal Revenue Officer, Banaganapalle and Revenue Divisional Officer, Nandyal to submit D.N. and D.D. proposals for acquisition of the said land i.e., Sy.No.148/1B to an extent of 0.51 cetns under Land Acquisition Act and to make payment of compensation to writ petitioner – Sri Syed Hassan Ali s/o late Syed Husaiah Saheb of Banaganapelle. I, therefore, request you to get funds from the Govt. immediately towards land compensation and Land Acquisition Charges to avoid further court litigations.” 5. In view of the above facts and circumstances and having regard to the contents of the above letter dated 20.1.12006, this writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to pass appropriate orders in the matter, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
