In response to the notice ordered, the Special Deputy Collector, Telugu Ganga Project, Unit-1 (L.A), Kadapa, filed a counter affidavit on behalf of the respondents stating that though it is a fact that by award dated 24.8.1998 in LAOP No.178 of 1989, the learned Senior Civil Judge, Rajampet had enhanced the compensation awarded by the Land Acquisition Officer, challenging the said award an appeal was filed before this court and the same is pending. It is also stated that, as a matter of fact, the petitioners have already received the compensation awarded by the Land Acquisition Officer. Since the appeal against the award in LAOP No.178 of 1989 is pending before this court, the writ of Mandamus as prayed for cannot be granted. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of granting liberty to the petitioners to move appropriate application in the appeal, pending against the order in LAOP No.178 of 1989, if so advised. No costs. ------------------- G. ROHINI, J Date: 17.4.2007 cvm
