THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.23517 of 2002 Date: 13.02.2008 Between: Banothu Badru And others. … Petitioners AND The Conservator of Forests, Hanamkonda, Warangal district. And another … Respondents Counsel for the petitioners: Sri K.Jitendra Babu. Counsel for respondents: A.G.P. for Land Acquisition. HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.23517 of 2002 ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a writ of mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in demanding recovery of compensation amount paid to the petitioners on 27.7.2002 for surrendering the lands to an extent of Ac.11.30 gts., comprised in survey No.235, Dhannasari village, Mahboobabad Mandal, Warangal district as illegal and arbitrary. At the hearing, counsel for the petitioners is not present. Heard the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Land Acquisition. A reading of the averments contained in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition shows that this writ petition is filed by the petitioners on the apprehension that the respondents are likely to demand the ex gratia amount of Rs.2,45,000/- received by them for surrendering their land for excavation of irrigation canals and that the respondents may also file criminal cases. In the counter affidavit filed by respondent No.2 there is no reference either to the alleged proposal of the respondents to recover the amount or of registering the criminal cases. It thus appears that the writ petition is filed on mere apprehension without there being any basis therefor. The writ petition is therefore dismissed. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.29488 of 2002 filed by the petitioner seeking interim relief is also dismissed. ___________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Date:13.02.2008 mdaa
