Nalgonda, Nalgonda District and another. .....Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: Mr.B.Yadaiah for Mr.Palle Nageswara Rao Counsel for the Respondents: AGP for Land Acquisition The Court made the following : O R D E R: This Writ Petition is filed for a Mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in not paying compensation to the petitioner in respect of land admeasuring Ac.2-00 guntas in Survey No.365 of Velaturu Village, Mellacheruvu Mandal, Nalgonda District, acquired for the purpose of Pulichintala Project in the year 2007, though the owners of adjacent lands were already paid compensation, as illegal and arbitrary. The petitioner sought for a direction to the respondents to pay compensation to her. The petitioner averred that her husband late Saidulu was the owner, pattadar and possessor of agricultural land admeasuring Ac.8-00 guntas in Survey No.365 of Velaturu Revenue Shivar, Velaturu Village, Mellacheruvu Mandal, Nalgonda District; that during the lifetime of her husband, in order to avoid the disputes among their children, they had partitioned the said land, in which an extent of Ac.6-00 guntas was given to their three sons and three daughters and; that the remaining extent of Ac.2-00 guntas was retained by the petitioner and her husband for their sustenance. It is the further case of the petitioner that her husband died in the year 2007; that she became absolute owner of the said property since then, and; that the respondents have acquired about 180 acres of land in Survey No.365, which included the above-mentioned land, in the year 2007. The petitioner alleged that in respect of the land, which has fallen to the share of her children, compensation @ Rs.1,50,000/- per acre was paid, but for the land fallen to the petitioner’s share, no such compensation has been paid. Respondent No.2 filed a counter-affidavit wherein it is inter alia stated that an extent of Ac.49-32 cents of patta land and 34-06 guntas of Ceiling Surplus Land were acquired as per the requisition from the Engineering Department and compensation of Rs.67,02,000/- for patta lands and Rs.51,22,500/- for Ceiling Surplus Land was paid and that the petitioner was holding Ceiling Surplus assigned land to an extent of Ac.2-20 guntas in Survey No.365, for which exgratia amount of Rs.3,75,000/- was paid to her through cheque No.952064, dated 05-06-2010. The petitioner has not filed any reply-affidavit controverting the above-mentioned averments contained in the counter-affidavit. Inasmuch as the plea of the respondents that the extent of Ac.2-20 guntas is an assigned land from out of the Ceiling Surplus Lands, which were taken over from the petitioner’s family, and that exgratia amount was already paid, the grievance of the petitioner raised in this Writ Petition does not subsist and as such, no relief deserves to be granted to the petitioner. For the above-mentioned reasons, the Writ Petition is dismissed. As a sequel, WPMP.No.19965 of 2010 is disposed of as infructuous. ______________________ (C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy, J) 21st November, 2011 LUR
