THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.15549 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner is the daughter of one Sri Jagadishwar. She sought admission in DAV/BDL Public School, BDL Town Ship, Bhanur, 2nd respondent herein. The BDL was established at Bhanur few decades ago by acquiring vast extents of land. Apart from payment of compensation, the owners of the land were provided with certain benefits such as employment subject to eligibility and admission into the School established by the Organization at concessional rates of fee. The claim of the petitioner was rejected on the ground that her father is not recognized as Land Displaced Person (LDP). The same is challenged in this writ petition. On behalf of the respondents, a counter affidavit is filed. It is stated that the father of the petitioner did not own any land as such. However, it is mentioned that in the award enquiry, in relation to the land in Survey No.382/3 owned by one Mr.Mudupu Rani Reddy, one of the legal heirs by name Manikya Reddy has stated that he sold different bits of land out of his share in favour of three individuals including the father of the petitioner. The respondents however claim that the sale in favour of the petitioner was not in accordance with law and that he was not recognized as LDP. Heard Sri Sridhar Rao, learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents. The respondents evolved the scheme for providing various benefits to the displaced persons. An understanding was reached between the management of the organization on the one hand and the representatives of the displaced persons on the other. The memorandum of understanding was drawn on 01.01.1991. Clause (11) thereof reads as under: “It was also agreed that the children of the LDPs will be treated on par with the children of BDL employees regarding payment of school fees with effect from February 1991 in BDL school.” It enables the children of the displaced persons to seek admission in the institution at concessional rates of fee. The claim made by the petitioner was rejected on the ground that her father was not recognized as LDP. However, if one goes by the averments in the counter affidavit itself, it emerges that in the course of award enquiry, the claim of the father of the petitioner was accepted in respect of 20 guntas of land and payment was made by the Land Acquisition Officer. Therefore, the petitioner is entitled for the benefit. Therefore, the writ petition is allowed and the respondents are directed to extend the benefit under Clause (11) of the Memorandum of Understanding to the petitioner. The petitioner shall be admitted within two (2) weeks from today. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 09.12.2009 Note: Issue C.C. in one week.
