The compensation has been fixed on the basis of a notification issued in the year 1988 whereas the land was taken possession of in the year 1954. During the course of hearing, the Court had suggested a compromise and the claimant had submitted that he would be satisfied if a total compensation of Rs. 2,50,000/- was paid to him. The case has been adjourned on several occasions to enable the learned Government Pleader to obtain instructions. Today, the learned Government Pleader submits that inspite of their best efforts and inspite of the fact that even the Advocate General had written a letter to the District Collector, Ranga Reddy District there has been no response from the Officers concerned.
