THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.4353 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner states that an extent of Ac.5.09 guntas of land in Sy.No.128 of Reddiganapur Village, Basheerabad Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, owned by him, was acquired by the Government for providing house sites to the poor, through notification dated 08-05-1978. Award is said to have been passed on 07-07-1979, fixing the compensation at Rs.2,600, per acre, and that the same was enhanced to Rs.4,000/- per acre, by the Court of I Additional Judge, City Civil Court, Hyderabad, in O.P.No.370 of 1979. It is also stated that the petitioner, on the one hand, and the 2nd respondent, on the other hand, filed appeals before this Court in the year 1982, and that the compensation was further enhanced. The matter is said to have assumed finality, with the disposal of Civil Appeal Nos.5894 and 5895 of 1994, on 01-09-1994, modifying the decree passed by this Court. The judgment of the Supreme Court is said to have been obtained, recently in the year 2006. The petitioner made representation to the respondents on 04-10-2006, with a request to pay the compensation. His grievance is that the respondents have not taken any steps, so far. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for the respondents. The matter, as to determination of compensation payable for the land of the petitioner, has assumed finality, on 01-09-1994. The petitioner did not file the E.P., so far. It is only when an E.P is filed, that the respondents would be under obligation to pay the compensation. It may be open to the petitioner to approach this Court by filing writ petition, only when the E.P is filed and there is no response from the Land Acquisition Officer. Unless the E.P. is filed, this Court finds it difficult to issue any directions to the respondents. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, leaving it open to the petitioner to file E.P., for enforcement of the decree, in accordance with law, and pursue further remedies. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.25-02-2011. KO
