THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 20138 OF 2007 O R D E R: The petitioners state that they are the legal descendants of one Mr. Pitta Pitchaiah, who is said to have owned about Acs.4-69 cents of land, in Sy.No.848/1 of Kakarla village. Respondents 4 to 7 are also said to be legal descendants of the said Pitchaiah, under diﬀerent degrees. The land of As.4-69 cents has been taken over by the government, for irrigation project. Since it is an assigned land, ex- gratia is payable for it and not the compensation, under the Land Acquisition Act. The grievance of the petitioner is that ex-gratia is being paid only to respondents 4 to 7, to their exclusion. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Government Pleader for Land Acquisition. The petitioners claim a share in the ex-gratia to be paid for the land referred to above. The possession of the land was already taken over by the government. The necessity or occasion to examine the case of the petitioners did not arise, for the Land Acquisition Oﬃcer, in view of the fact that no award was contemplated. If the petitioners feel that their rights have been defeated and ex-gratia was paid to respondents 4 to 7, wrongly, the petitioners have to work out their remedies, by ﬁling a suit. This court cannot undertake adjudication, on disputed questions of fact. The writ petition is disposed of, leaving it open to the petitioners, to establish their right and to work out their remedies, by ﬁling a suit. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ 22nd September 2008 PAN
