RESPONDENT The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.19170 OF 2011 O R D E R : The petitioners claim to be the owners of Ac.10.35 guntas of land situated in survey No.162/1 of Kowkur Village, Alwal Municipality. The said land was acquired for a public purpose vide notification dated 29.09.1977. Pursuant thereto, the Land Acquisition Officer by award dated 30.01.1984 fixed the market value of the land in question at the rate of 6,000/- per acre for dry land and Rs.8,000/- per acre for wet land. Not being satisfied with the quantum of compensation awarded, the petitioners sought for reference under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. Pursuant thereto, O.P.No.395 of 1984 was registered on the file of the District Judge, Ranga Reddy. It was renumbered as O.P.No.230 of 1986 on transfer to the Court of the Principal Subordinate Judge, Ranga Reddy District at Saroornagar. Ultimately, by judgment and decree dated 28.12.1995, the reference Court fixed the compensation at Rs.30,000/- per acre for dry lands. Challenging the same, the state preferred A.S.No.410 of 2000 and the petitioners filed cross objections. This Court, by judgment dated 10.09.2008 allowed the appeal restricting the interest from the date of notification till the date of realisation and the cross objections filed by the petitioners were allowed as prayed for. It is stated that though the petitioners filed E.P.No.167 of 2009 on the file of the Court of the Principal Senior Civil Judge, Ranga Reddy District at L.B.Nagar for recovery of the compensation determined by this Court in A.S.No.410 of 2000, the respondents have failed to deposit the said amount. Hence, the present writ petition. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and perused the material available on record. Learned Government Pleader for Land Acquisition on instructions submitted that though the state carried the matter to the Supreme Court, the same was dismissed and thus, the judgment and decree in A.S.No.410 of 2000 has become final. Hence, the respondent is bound to pay the compensation in terms of the judgment and decree of this Court in A.S.No.410 of 2000. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondent to deposit the amount in terms of the judgment and decree in A.S.No.410 of 2000 to the credit of E.P.No.167 of 2009 in O.P.No.230 of 1986 on the file of the Court of the Principal Senior Civil Judge, Ranga Reddy District at L.B.Nagar within a period of three (3) months from the date of receipt of this order. No costs. ​ ____________ G. ROHINI, J Date: 16.08.2011 Ivd
