THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WP NO. 17100 OF 2011 Date of Judgment: 26.8.2011 Between: Karam Rajulu …Petitioner and The State of Andhra Pradesh represented by Principal Secretary Revenue (LA) and others ..Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WP NO. 17100 OF 2011 ORDER: Heard learned counsel for the parties. The petitioners claim that they are tribal assignees of various Government lands and their lands having been taken over by the Government for the purpose of Indirasagar i.e., Polavaram project, the petitioners have been ventilating their grievances for release of exgratia. The petitioner No.1 herein earlier approached this Court by WP No. 22596 of 2008 which was disposed of on 17.10.2008 directing the third respondent therein to consider the claim of the said petitioner for exgratia for the land mentioned therein within a period of six months from the date of receipt of the order. The learned counsel for the petitioners relies upon another order of a similar nature passed by this Court in WP No. 23692 of 2010, dated 29.9.2010. The present writ petition is, however, filed complaining that no action is being taken by the respondents in spite of the directions referred to above and exgratia still remains unreleased. When this Court ordered notice on admission, the respondents have come up with a counter-affidavit wherein they have referred to G.O.Ms. No. 68, I & CAD, dated 8.4.2005 as well as further instructions in Memo No. 22704/LA-IV, dated 3.12.2009. It is also stated that keeping in view the directions of the Government contained in the proceedings above, the individual cases of all the claimants are being examined on merits and depending upon the urgency for the cash compensation and inability of such of the claimants to continue the cultivation, necessary orders are being passed by the Special Collector, Land Acquisition. In view of the aforesaid averment, since the petitioners’ cases are under consideration, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition by directing the respondent No.3 to take appropriate steps by examining the case of the petitioners in terms of the proceedings referred to above and pass appropriate orders with regard to each of the petitioners expeditiously and in any case within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. _________________________ VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR, J Dt. 26.8.2011 KR
