The Hon'ble Sri Justice C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy Writ Petition No.25825 of 2010 Date: 03-12-2011 Between: Akumalla Chinna Subbaiah and others ..... Petitioners AND The Government of Andhra Pradesh, Rep. by its Principal Secretary, Irrigation and Command Area development, Secretariat, Hyderabad and 2 others. .....Respondents Counsel for the Petitioners: Sri D.Kodanda Rami Reddy Counsel for Respondent Nos.2 & 3: AGP for Land Acquisition Counsel for respondent No.1: --- The Court made the following : Order: This Writ Petition is ﬁled for a Mandamus to direct respondent Nos.1 to 3 to award interest on the market value solatium and additional market value from the date of award instead of restricting payment to the date of ﬁling applications under Section 28 A of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short ‘the Act’). At the hearing, it is agreed among the learned Counsel for the petitioners and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Land Acquisition, representing respondent Nos.2 and 3, that the issue raised in this Writ Petition is squarely covered by a Division Bench judgment, dated 04-11-2011, of this Court in W.P.No.28882 of 2011. I have perused the Judgment in the said case rendered by me on behalf of the Division Bench wherein this Court, while conﬁrming the Judgment of the learned single Judge, held that there is no justiﬁcation for the Land Acquisition Oﬃcer to deny payment of interest to the claimants therein as per the provisions of the Act by restricting the same from the date of re- determination of the compensation under Section 28-A of the Act. The learned Assistant Government Pleader for Land Acquisition has not disputed that the issue raised in this Writ Petition is identical to that decided in the aforesaid Judgment. Following the dicta laid down in the aforesaid Judgment, this Writ Petition is allowed in terms thereof. As a sequel, WPMP.No.32949 of 2010, ﬁled by the petitioner for interim relief, is disposed of as infructuous. ______________________ (C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy, J) 3rd December, 2011 LUR
