In the counter-aﬃdavit dated 24.1.2004 ﬁled by the Revenue Divisional Oﬃcer, Kurnool, it is stated that on subsequent enquiry it was found that the lands were not patta lands and they were Government lands and therefore proposals were submitted under Section 48 (1) of the Land Acquisition Act for cancellation of the Notification, dated 5.6.1998. When the matter is taken up for hearing, the learned Government Pleader for Land Acquisition on instructions stated that the proposals for cancellation were approved by the competent authority and the cancellation notice was published in the A.P. Gazette, dated 2.1.2004. A copy of the said Gazette has also been placed before this Court. Thus it is clear that the lands in question were not acquired. Hence the question of payment of compensation does not arise. Accordingly the Writ Petition is dismissed. No costs. ______________ G. ROHINI, J. Dt. 05.12.2011 gbs
