THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO : 609 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioners were assigned small extents of land in Yellareddygudem Village, Narketpalli Mandal, Nalgonda District in the year 1986. Thereafter, attempts were made by the Government to resume the land for various purposes and the proceedings were dropped on a representation made by the petitioners. However, steps were taken for resumption of the land for the purpose of Rajiv Gruha Kalapa scheme. Show cause notices were issued on 14.12.2007 and orders of resumption were passed on 12.01.2008. While some of the petitioners were paid ex gratia at the rate of Rs.1,27,000/- per acre, others are said to have been paid at the rate of Rs.1,22,000/- per acre. The petitioners state that there was absolutely no basis for the respondents in resuming the land. According to them, the site of about 120 square yards of land with house constructed thereon would be allotted under the scheme for about Rs.8 to 10 lakhs and in that view of the matter, it cannot be said that the scheme is for the benefit of poor persons. Alternatively, the petitioners claim higher amount of ex gratia. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. One year has elapsed ever since the order of resumption was passed as regards the lands assigned to the petitioners. Ex gratia was also paid at about Rs.1,25,000/- per acre. At this stage, the petitioners cannot contend that the purport of the scheme does not justify the resumption. Once the lands were resumed after following the procedure prescribed by law, this Court cannot examine the justifiability of the scheme. So far as the alternative grievance of the petitioner is concerned, the Government had issued guidelines from time to time, in the context of fixing the amount of ex gratia to be paid whenever assigned lands are resumed. The record does not disclose that the petitioners have made any detailed or effective representation in this regard. Even now, they can make such representation stating the factual basis therefor. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of leaving it open to the petitioners to make a specific and detailed representation as regards the enhancement of ex gratia; and as and when such a representation is received, the 1st respondent shall pass appropriate orders thereon within a period of three months therefrom. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 22.01.2009 JSU THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO : 609 of 2009 Date: 22.01.2009 JSU
