The petitioner claims that the subject land was assigned to him under a welfare scheme and the Revenue authorities had also issued him a Pattadar Passbook and he is in possession and cultivating the same. That the respondents issued a notice dated 6-1-1998 and acquired the subject land, under a promise of payment of appropriate compensation. The petitioner complain that he has made representations on 21-11-2003 and 31-8-2004 for payment of compensation and no action was taken thereon and the representations filed by him were remained unanswered. Hence, the present writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Land Acquisition. Both the counsel agreed for disposal of the writ petition at the stage of admission. Since the petitioner claims that his assigned land was acquired for the public purpose of laying pipeline for supply of Krishna Water to Hyderabad and no compensation is paid to him and the representations filed by him are pending consideration, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition, directing the respondents to consider the representations of the petitioner dated 21-11-2003 and 31-8-2004 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law expeditiously. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of at the admission stage. ____________ N.V.RAMANA,J 3-12-2004 TVK ..... REGISTRAR // TRUE COPY // SECTION OFFICER To 1..
