THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.19689 OF 2002 Date:24.02.2011 Between: Duvvu Satya Rao and others .. Petitioners And The Special Tahsildar (LA), Revenue Division, Visakhapatnam and others .. Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.19689 OF 2002 ORDER: The father of petitioners 1 to 3 and the grand father of fourth petitioner own lands in Survey Nos.42/2A, 42/2C, 42/2B, 45/1, 45/21C and 48/1 of Kaparada Village, Visakhapatnam District. The lands were acquired by the Defence Department for the purpose of establishment of Boys Training Establishment (BTE). The case of the petitioners is that as per the award proceedings dated 19.04.1978 the predecessor of petitioners 1 to 3 Late D.Appala Swamy and the predecessor of fourth petitioner Late Veeraswamy were shown at Serial Nos.10 and 23, but the compensation was not paid. Therefore, they filed the instant writ petition seeking a direction to the respondents to pay compensation. The first respondent filed counter affidavit. The acquisition of land admeasuring Ac.1.76 guntas in various survey numbers referred to hereinabove is not denied. It is further stated that the lands were acquired under the provisions of the Requisition and Acquisition of Immovable Properties Act, 1952 and the compensation amount of Rs.5,015.27 ps. was paid to D.Appala Swamy and Veeraswamy. The necessary acquittence given by the land owners has also been placed before this Court. The counter averments remain unrebutted as the petitioners have not filed any reply affidavit. A perusal of the copy of the register showing final payment of compensation for BTE Project, Kaparada Village, shows that the amount has been paid with due acquittence by the predecessors of the petitioners. In that view of the matter, the writ petition is misconceived. The writ petition is, therefore, dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________ (V.V.S. RAO, J) 24.02.2011 KH
