HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY W.P.No.33945 of 2011 Date : 28-12-2011 Between: M/s. Purender Memorial Charitable Trust, Represented by its Managing Trustee, J. Vikram Dev Rao, Mahabhoopal Manjil, Jambagh, Hyderabad. .. Petitioner And The Special Deputy Collector (L.A.), Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation, Hyderabad. .. Respondent Counsel for petitioner : Sri N. Vasudeva Reddy Counsel for respondent : Government Pleader for Land Acquisition The Court made the following: ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed for a mandamus to direct the respondent to refer the petitioner’s application dated 29-1-2009 under Section 18(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short "the Act") to the competent Civil Court for determination of proper market value in respect of 234.03 sq. yards comprised in premises bearing No.1- 2-594, Gagan Mahal village, Himayathnagar Mandal, Hyderabad. The petitioner’s above mentioned property was acquired under award dated 17-11-2008. The petitioner has received notice under Section 12(2) of the Act on 20-12-2008. It applied to the respondent for reference of the dispute relating to fixation of compensation under Section 18 of the Act on 29-1-2009. As the dispute was not referred to the competent Civil Court, the petitioner filed the present Writ Petition. At the hearing, the learned Government Pleader for Land Acquisition fairly conceded that the application filed by the petitioner for reference is within the period of limitation under Section 18 of the Act. In view of the above, the Writ Petition is allowed with the direction to the respondent to refer the petitioner’s application for adjudication under Section 18 of the Act forthwith to the competent Civil Court and ensure that the reference is registered within a period of two months from the date of receipt of this order. As a sequel, WPMP No.42225/2011 is disposed of as infructuous. _________________________ Justice C.V. Nagarjuna Reddy Date : 28-12-2011 AM
