NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 17965 of 2007 ORDER:- This writ petition is filed for a writ of mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in not notifying certain properties of the petitioners for acquisition, as illegal and arbitrary. This Court, on 09.10.2007, passed the following order: “It is stated that the houses and sites in reach Nos.22 to 26 of Gattupalli Village, Hamlet of Obulam, Gopavaram Mandal, Kadapa District, are already stated to have been submerged. But, however, it is stated that the houses that were in existence have already been enumerated and even photographed. Therefore, pending further orders, the respondents authorities are directed to issue the requisite 4(1) notification and 6 declaration of the Land Acquisition Act, with reference to the above stated houses and sites, within a period of six (6) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and within six (6) weeks thereafter pass necessary and appropriate orders determining the compensation to which the houses and sites are entitled and pay the same immediately thereafter. Post after six (6) weeks for reporting compliance as to the issuance of publication both under Section 4(1) and 6 of the Act.” In view of the above-reproduced order by which the petitioners’ grievances are redressed, nothing remains to be adjudicated in the writ petition. The writ petition is therefore disposed of in terms of order dated 09.10.2007. It is, however, made clear that before issuing notification under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, the respondents are given liberty to verify the ownership claims of the petitioners and the existence of the properties as claimed by them. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, WPMP.No.23029 of 2007 filed by the petitioner for appointment of an advocate commissioner is disposed of as infructuous. _____________________________ C.V.
