Counsel for the Petitioners:MR.M.VENKATA RAMANA REDDY Counsel for the Respondents: G.P. for REVENUE. The Court Made the Following : ORDER: Heard both the learned Counsel. The petitioners herein filed this Writ Petition seeking writ of Mandamus for conducting enquiry and to re-determine the compensation in pursuance of Section 28(A) (1) of the Land Acquisition Act. The case of the petitioners is that their lands were acquired on 08-03-1985 and in the connected reference in O.P.No.85/1985 the judgment was passed on 16-03-1993 and in spite of the notice being given by them on 18-06-1994, the same was not properly answered with any valid reasons. Hence, the Writ Petition. Considering the submissions made and also on perusal of the material it is seen that eventhough in the connected reference the judgment was passed on 16-03-1993, admittedly no application has been filed well within the limitation as prescribed under the law. Further, the mere issuance of notice at the belated stage on 18-06- 1994 not in any way create the defence. Hence, I do not find any merits in the Writ Petition. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, dismissed. No Costs. _________________ B.PRAKASH RAO, J. Dated 08-07-2004. SKMR To 1.The Dist.
