The Hon'ble Sri Justice C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy Writ Petition No.28370 of 2011 Date: 15-11-2011 Between: Gandrothu Venkatesu and 5 others ..... Petitioners AND The State of A.P., Rep. by its Secretary, Revenue (Land Acquisition) Dept., Secretariat, Hyuderabad and 2 others. .....Respondents Counsel for the Petitioners: Sri M.Balanaga Srinivas Counsel for the Respondents: AGP for Land Acquisition The Court made the following : Order: This Writ Petition is filed for a Mandamus to set aside notification in ROC.No.3279/06, dated 01-06-2006, issued under Section 4 (1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short ‘the Act’), to the extent of the lands belonging to the petitioners in Survey Nos.93/2A, 95/2A, 95/3A, 97/1A and 97/1B of Dhumantunigudem Village, Devarapalli Mandal, West Godavari District. At the hearing, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Land Acquisition, representing the respondents, on instructions, submitted that the petitioners have participated in the award enquiry and that thereafter, award was passed on 20th August, 2006. The learned Assistant Government Pleader further submitted that in the award, the Land Acquisition Officer held that, as there is no dispute regarding the receipt of compensation by the petitioners, he has awarded the compensation in favour of the petitioners, but the petitioners have not approached respondent No.3- Special Deputy Collector for receiving the compensation amount. Inasmuch as the land acquisition proceedings have culminated in passing of award, the relief claimed in this Writ Petition, for quashing the notification in ROC.No.3279/06, dated 01-06-2006, issued under Section 4 (1) of the Act, cannot be granted. The Writ Petition is, therefore, dismissed with liberty to the petitioners to approach respondent No.3 for receiving the compensation amount. As a sequel, WPMP.No.35036 of 2011, filed by the petitioners for interim relief, is disposed of as infructuous. ______________________ (C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy, J) 15th November, 2011 LUR
