THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 10323 of 2006 Date: 25.05.2006 Between: Md.Jamaluddin Zahid S/o Ismail, R/o Gachibowli, Serilingampally Manal, Ranga Reddy District and others. … Petitioners And: The District Collector, Ranga Reddy District, and another. … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 10323 of 2006 ORDER: The lands of the petitioners in various survey numbers were notified for acquisition, for the purpose of bringing about an outer ring road, and the proceedings are at the stage of passing of award. Petitioners state that they have filed objections/representations, dated 20.03.2006 and 16.05.2006, bringing to the notice of the second respondent the existing value of the land, based upon the Government records. Their apprehension is that the second respondent would pass an award, without taking the same into account. They seek appropriate directions in this regard. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Land Acquisition. The Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short “the Act”), itself provides for an award enquiry, and the Land Acquisition Officer is supposed to take various aspects, such as current market value of the surrounding lands, into account, before passing the award. There is no reason to believe that the second respondent would not take these aspects into account, before he passes the award. At any rate, the petitioners can certainly workout their remedies under Section 18 of the Act, in case they are not satisfied with the award. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing that the second respondent shall take the representations of the petitioners as well as other relevant circumstances into account, before passing the award. There shall be no order as to costs. __________ 25.05.2006 Note: Furnish C.C., tomorrow (B/o) sh/RRB
