Heard Sri Pankaj Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Land Acquisition. A perusal of the record shows that the petitioners made claims for payment of compensation in respect of the abovementioned lands, which are acquired for construction of Mid Manair Project. The Special Collector (FAC), Land Acquisition, SRSP, SSP and JCR GLIP, Tarnaka, Hyderabad, addressed letter dated 12.10.2007 to respondent No.1, wherein he referred to the legal notice got issued by the petitioners for payment of compensation and also brought to his notice the allegation made in the legal notice that some of the villagers are tampering the revenue records in possession column of pahanies in collusion with revenue department in order to claim compensation in respect of the property located in Cheerlavancha Village. The grievance of the petitioners is that despite making their claims and the letter addressed by respondent No.2 to respondent No.1, the latter has not so far decided their claims and passed award. In the light of the innocuous relief sought for by the petitioners, the writ petition is disposed of with the direction to respondent No.1 to consider the claims of the petitioners and the letter addressed by respondent No.2 and pass award, if not already passed. If respondent No.1 is satisfied that there is a dispute regarding right to receive or apportionment of compensation, he shall refer the same to the competent civil Court under Section 30 of the Act. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, WPMP.No.5091 of 2008 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.
