Their land (along with other lands) totally admeasuring Acs.39.10 guntas was acquired under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (the Act, for brevity). The respondent passed Award No.12 of 1986, dated 15.09.1986. The market value was fixed at Rs.5,500/- per acre. Some of the landowners sought references under Section 18 of the Act. These references, being O.P.No.43 of 1989 and batch on the file of the Court of the Additional District Judge, Adilabad, were allowed by order dated 21.05.1992 enhancing compensation to Rs.16,000/- per acre. The petitioners filed applications under Section 28-A of the Act on 18.08.1992 seeking redetermination. In the meanwhile, the Government filed appeals against O.P.No.43 of 1989 and batch. One such appeal, being A.S.No.947 of 1993 was partly allowed by judgment dated 20.10.1998 fixing compensation at Rs.15,000/- per acre. When the petitioners approached the respondent through the Lawyer, redetermination was denied on the ground that they failed to produce any material. Therefore, they filed the instant Writ Petition. During the pendency of the Writ Petition, this Court also disposed of A.S.Nos.845 and 847 of 1993 following the earlier judgment in A.S.No.947 of 1993 maintaining compensation at Rs.15,000/- per acre. This judgment has been brought on record by filing W.P.M.P.No.2853 of 2008. A counter affidavit is filed by the respondent. It is stated that as and when appeal Nos.845 and 847 of 1993 are disposed of, the applications filed by the petitioners under Section 28-A of the Act would be taken up for consideration. Now that this Court disposed of A.S.No.847 of 1993 on 02.07.2003 fixing the market value at Rs.15,000/- per acre, the respondent may take up the applications of the petitioners for redetermination in accordance with the said order, and pass appropriate orders within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 13.02.2008 vs
