Counsel for the Petitioner: R.J.JANAKIRAMI REDDY Counsel for the Respondent No.: GP FOR LAND ACQUISITION The Court made the following: ORDER: The writ petition has been filed seeking a declaration as to the inaction of the respondents 1 and 2 in conducting any enquiry and not referring the matter to the civil Court pursuant to the representations purported to have been made by the petitioners dated 17-3-2008 and 7-5-2008 as illegal, arbitrary and unconstitutional and also a direction to the respondents 1 and 2 to refer the matter pertaining to the acquisition of the land admeasuring Ac.5.00 cents in Sy.No.37/2 of Midjil village and Mandal, Mahabubnagar District to the civil Court for adjudication of the matter. It appears that there is some dispute as to the land in question between the petitioners and the fifth respondent. Even according to the first petitioner herein, though she made representations dated 17- 3-2008 and 7-5-2008 for the purpose of passing an award as well as paying compensation in their favour as regards the acquisition of the land in question, the same were not disposed of till date. Under these circumstances, without expressing any opinion on merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing the respondents 1 and 2 to dispose of the representations purported to have been made by the petitioners on 17-3-2008 and 7-5- 2008 within a period of three (3) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till such time, no compensation shall be disbursed among other sharers, if any. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _______________ (C.V.
