THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.22693 of 2006 Date: 01.02.2008 Between: Smt.Razia Sultana … Petitioner AND The Government of A.P., Rep by Secretary, Irrigation & CAD Department, Hyderabad. & others. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioner: Sri N.Vasudev Reddy Counsel for respondents: A.G.P. for Land Acquisition HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.22693 of 2006 ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a writ of mandamus to direct the respondents to deposit the compensation due to the petitioner and her family members to the credit of E.P.No.242 of 2006 in O.P.No.3166 of 1980 on the file of the learned Senior Civil Judge, Gadvel. Heard Sri N.Vasudev Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Land Acquisition. In the additional counter affidavit filed by Sri Harilal Samariya, Secretary to the Government, it is averred as under: “ It is submitted that the following amounts have been deposited in the lower courts as detailed below: ____________________________________________________ Date on which payment paid/deposited amounts in /deposit was made Rs. ____________________________________________________ 12.3.1980 2,15,004 ( as per award) 25.3.1980 2,91,714 15.9.1991 3,25,887 Total in rupees 8,32,605 ________________________________________________________ It is submitted that if the amounts deposited are taken into consideration an amount of Rs.3,07,685/- is payable to the petitioner by the Government (the calculation statement is appended to this additional counter affidavit) and the E.P.No.242/2006 for further payment deserves no consideration but a detailed statement/counter will be filed by the next date of hearing. It is also submitted that for the reasons stated above, the Government has deposited a total amount of Rs.8,32,605/- from time to time. As per orders of Hon’ble High Court in A.S.No.2100/84, dated 19.7.1996 the balance amount to be payable to the petitioner by the Government is Rs.3,07,685/- and the same has been deposited in the lower court on 20.12.2006. It is therefore, prayed that the Hon’ble High Court may be pleased to pass any order or orders as deemed fit in the circumstances of the case.” However, the Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that though the petitioner claimed a sum of Rs.18,54,971/- , the respondents have deposited only a sum of Rs.3,07,685/-. According to the learned counsel for the petitioner the respondents have not calculated the amounts in accordance with the guidelines given by the Supreme Court in Gurpreet Sing Vs. Union of India[1]. Since, there is a serious dispute regarding the quantum of amount liable to be deposited by the respondents, it is not possible for this Court to determine this disputed issue, i.e., the method of calculation and the quantum. Hence, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with liberty to the petitioner to pursue E.P.No.242 of 2006 by raising all the contentions which are legally permissible including the one based on the judgment of the Supreme Court in Gurpreet Singh (1 supra). It is needless to observe that the learned Senior Civil Judge will consider the respective submissions of the learned counsel and dispose of the E.P. as expeditiously as possible and preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Subject to the above observations, the writ petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.28832 of 2007 filed by the petitioner seeking interim relief is dismissed as infructuous. ___________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Date:01.02.2008 mdaa [1] (2006) 8 SCC 457
