THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY Writ Petition No.27495 of 2011 Dated 10th November, 2011 Between: Alluri Ramalakshmi …Petitioner And The District Collector, W.G.District, Eluru and others …Respondents Counsel for the petitioner: Ms.G.Sindhu Counsel for respondents: AGP for Land Acquisition The Court made the following: ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in interfering with the petitioner’s possession and enjoyment of the land admeasuring Acs.1.82 cents in R.S.No.81 of Kodurupaadu Village, Bhimadole Mandal, West Godavari District as illegal and arbitrary. The petitioner claims interest over the above-mentioned land under a registered sale deed, dated 16.05.2011. Her grievance is that the respondents have been interfering with her possession and enjoyment. Respondent No.2 filed a counter affidavit, wherein it is inter alia stated that for the purpose of providing land to the houseless persons under Indiramma Programme, the above-mentioned land was notified for acquisition in the year 2008 and after completing the procedure prescribed under the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, an award was passed on 30.04.2011 and that possession was taken on 16.05.2011. It is, therefore, pleaded that the sale deed, dated 16.05.2011, is void and the petitioner has no locus to file the present writ petition. At the hearing, the learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that even though compensation was offered to the vendor of the petitioner, he has not received the same. In the counter affidavit also, it is stated that the awardee refused to receive the compensation amount of Rs.6,60,617/-. Inasmuch as the petitioner has purchased the property after the award was made, the relief as claimed in this writ petition cannot be granted. With the passing of the award, the land stood vested with the Government. If the petitioner claims compensation, she has to work out her remedies by approaching the respondents for payment. If the petitioner so approaches, the respondents shall take a decision in accordance with law. Subject to the above observations, the writ petition is dismissed. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.33916 of 2011 is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 10th November, 2011 VGB
