This writ petition is filed for a mandamus to declare the inaction of respondent Nos.2, 4 and 5 in getting structure No.NG/R-24 of Neradigonda Village and Mandal re-surveyed in connection with the acquisition of the building for widening of national highway No.7, as illegal and arbitrary. At the hearing, the learned Government Pleader for Land Acquisition submitted that subsequent to the filing of this writ petition, re-survey was done and compensation was revised from Rs.4,48,670/- to Rs.6,14,190/-. Sri Nazeer Khan, learned counsel for the petitioner, while admitting that such re-survey was done and compensation was revised, has however stated that the petitioner’s objection was not properly considered while revising the compensation. Under Section 3G(5) of the National Highways Act, 1956 (for short ‘the Act’), if the owner of the property acquired under the Act is not satisfied with the amount determined by the competent authority under sub-section (1) or sub-section (2) of Section 3G of the Act, the dispute can be determined by the arbitrator to be appointed by the Central Government. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to raise a dispute for adjudication by the arbitrator. It is made clear that if the revised compensation is not paid, the same shall be paid by the respondent concerned within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, the interim order, dated 06.05.2009, granted by this Court shall stand vacated and W.P.M.P.No.12767 of 2009 and W.V.M.P.No.2309 of 2010 are disposed of as infructuous.
