A perusal of the proceeding sheet shows that on 18-03-2009, this Court has granted an interim direction to the respondents to consider and dispose of the petitioners’ representations. In the counter- affidavit filed by the respondents, it is inter alia stated that in pursuance of the direction of this Court, respondent No.1- Collector disposed of the petitioners’ representation, dated 25-01-2008, vide Memo No.C/121/2007, dated 18-05- 2010 inter alia holding that the petitioners are not entitled for the payment of ex-gratia as they were not the original assignees and that the same was communicated to the petitioners on 25-10-2010. No reply-affidavit is filed controverting these averments. As the grievance of the petitioners, raised in this Writ Petition, viz., non-disposal of the petitioners’ representation has already been addressed, no further relief in this Writ Petition can be granted. It is, however, made clear that the petitioners shall be free to approach the competent Court of law to assert their right to receive compensation over the land in question. In the event of their success in such proceedings, they may, thereafter, approach the respondents for payment of compensation. Subject to the above observations, the Writ Petition is disposed of as infructuous. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP.No.7253 of 2009 is disposed of as infructuous. ______________________ (C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy, J) 5th July, 2011 lur
