The Hon'ble Sri Justice C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy Writ Petition No.31109 of 2011 Date: 22-12-2011 Between: S.D.Ramulu ..... Petitioner AND 1.Government of Andhra Pradesh, Rep. by its Secretary, Irrigation, I & CAD, Secretariat Buildings, Hyderabad and 3 others. .....Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: Mr.G.Buchaiah Goud Counsel for respondent No.1 & 4: --- Counsel for Respondent Nos.2 & 3: AGP for Land Acquisition The Court made the following : Order: This Writ Petition is filed for the following substantive relief: “to issue an order or orders, direction or directions, writ or writs, particularly, in the nature of writ of mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in not paying the compensation for the structures and trees existing on the acquired land situated in Sy. No. 176 of Sangala Village, Gadwal Mandal, Mahaboobnagar District is illegal or arbitrary, against the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act, and violative of Article 300-A of the Constitution of India.” At the outset, it requires to be noted that, even though the petitioner claimed compensation for structures along with trees, since the award is in the nature of a consent award, no direction for payment of structures, existing on the land in question, can be given. As regards the compensation for trees existing on the said land, in the impugned award, dated 20-07-2008, it is stated that compensation has not been fixed on the ground that the report from the Horticulture Department is not received. In my prima facie opinion, there is no justification for respondent Nos.2 and 3 not to finalise the award on the ground that they have not received the report from the Horticulture Department. They are directed to pursue with the Horticulture Department, obtain their report and pass supplementary award with respect to trees within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Subject to the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. As a sequel, WPMP.No.38603 of 2011, filed by the petitioner for interim relief, is disposed of as infructuous. ______________________ (C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy, J) 22nd December, 2011 LUR
