At the hearing, Sri K.Rathanga Pani Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioners, submitted that the issue raised in this writ petition is covered by order dated 22-01-2008 in W.P.No.818 of 2008. The grievance of the petitioners is that they are similarly placed to Smt M.Ramalingamma, whose lands were deleted following her representation in view of judgment dated 05-06-1987 in W.P. No.12435 of 1986, wherein notification dated 12-01-1983 was quashed on the ground that the same was not for a public purpose and that despite the same, respondent No.2 has not disposed of their representations. At the hearing, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Land Acquisition has not disputed that the issue raised in this writ petition is identical to the one raised in W.P.No.818 of 2008, which was disposed of by this Court on 22-01-2008. In this view of the matter, this writ petition is disposed of with the direction to respondent No.2 to consider representations dated 28-06-2008, 27-06-2008, 28-06-2008, 07-07-2008 and 28-06- 2008 of the petitioners respectively and if it is found that the petitioners are similarly placed as Smt M.Ramalingamma, their representations shall be positively considered for deletion of their lands from acquisition, within a period of six (6) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. As a sequel to disposal of main petition, WPMP No.21102 of 2008 is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Dated 29th July, 2008 vrn
