Government of A.P., rep.by its Secretary, Irrigation and CAD Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad. And two others. …APPELLANTS AND 1. Deverakonda China Rosaiah, S/o.Gopalakistaiah, 45 years, Weaver, R/o.Madhavaram (V), Vontimitta (M), Cuddapah District. And eighteen others. …RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE B.PRAKASH RAO And THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT APPEAL NO.639 of 2002 JUDGMENT: (Per the Hon’ble Sri Justice B.Prakash Rao) Heard both the sides. The appellant-State, represented through its Land Acquisition Officer, files this appeal, inter alia, seeking to assail the order dated 13.07.2001 passed by the learned Single Judge in Writ Petition No.14346 of 2001, allowing the same by directing the appellants to deposit the compensation amounts, which have been determined in a reference. Hence, the appeal by the State. Having considered the submissions made and on perusal of the material available on record, it is seen that there is no dispute to the fact of acquiring the lands and determining the compensation long back in the year 1998 itself and yet, no amounts have been deposited. As such, the Writ Petition was filed and a direction was given to deposit the amounts determined. In view of the same, absolutely, there are no merits in the Writ Appeal. In fact, any amounts under a decree should necessarily have to be deposited at the earliest, especially where the proprietary rights of the individuals or the citizens are grappled. Accordingly, the Writ Appeal is dismissed. No costs. _________________ (B.PRAKASH RAO, J) _________________ (SANJAY KUMAR, J) 13th August 2009 RRB
