THE HON'BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 24900 OF 2011 Dated: 06.09.2011 Between: Peram Chinna Subba Reddy and another ..... PETITIONERS AND The District Collector (Land Acquisition) and another ..... RESPONDENTS The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.24900 OF 2011 O R D E R : This writ petition is filed assailing the action of the respondents in acquiring the lands of the petitioners to an extent of Ac.1.32 cents situated in survey No.800 in Kaligiri Village and Mandal, PSR Nellore District. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Land Acquisition appearing for the respondents. Admittedly, an award was already passed on 15.01.2010 determining the compensation for the lands acquired. The material available on record shows that the petitioners were very well aware of the acquisition proceedings. In fact they made a representation on 05.01.2009 requesting the respondents to drop the acquisition proceedings on the ground that they were small farmers. In view of the settled legal position that the acquisition proceedings cannot be challenged after the award is passed, the writ of mandamus as prayed for cannot be granted at this stage. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. However, this shall not preclude the petitioners to avail the appropriate remedy as available under law if the petitioners are not satisfied with the compensation awarded. No costs. ​ ____________ G.
