THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION No.8257 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner filed this writ petition questioning the action of the respondents in not depositing the compensation, as per the judgment and decree dated 10.11.2005 passed by this Court in A.S.No.539 of 1997, to the credit of E.P.No.79 of 2008 in L.A.O.P.No.39 of 1987 on the file of the Senior Civil Judge, Narsapur. It is the case of the petitioner that his father owned land in an extent of Ac.0.78 cents in R.S.No.114/2 and Ac.0.67 cents in R.S.No.118/A2 of Perupalem Village, West Godavari District. The said land was taken possession by the State Government on 01.01.1961, without issuing any notification under the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short ‘the Act’). Thereafter, Notification under Section 4(1) of the Act was issued on 15.03.1979 and award was passed on 20.09.1986 determining the compensation @ Rs.10,000/- per acre. Being not satisfied with the compensation awarded, the petitioner sought for a reference to the Civil Court under Section 18 of the Act and the same was numbered as L.A.O.P.No.39 of 1987. However, the Civil Court did not enhance the compensation. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner approached this Court and filed A.S.No.539 of 1997 and this Court allowed the same by judgment and decree dated 10.11.2005 enhancing the compensation from Rs.10,000/- per acre to Rs.27,000/- per acre, apart from awarding interest on solatium and additional market value. For execution of the said judgment and decree, the petitioner filed E.P.No.79 of 2008 in L.A.O.P.No.39 of 1987 before the Senior Civil Judge, Narsapur. Though the respondents filed a counter-affidavit in the said E.P. stating that as and when money is sanctioned by the R&B Department, the decree will be satisfied, they have not paid the compensation to the petitioner so far. Hence, this writ petition. Respondents 1 and 3 filed counter-affidavits stating that the enhanced compensation of Rs.2,18,218/-, has already been deposited to the credit of E.P., through Demand Draft No.420471, dated 05.08.2010. Since the enhanced compensation has been deposited to the credit of E.P.No.79 of 2008 in L.A.O.P.No.39 of 1987, nothing survives for further adjudication in this writ petition. The writ petition is accordingly closed. However, since the land of the petitioner was taken possession in the year 1961, the Senior Civil Judge, Narsapur is directed to dispose of E.P.No.79 of 2008 in L.A.O.P.No.39 of 1987 as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. N.V.RAMANA, J Dated: 17.08.2010 va
