THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY W.P.No. 6425 of 2007 Dated: 02-08-2007 Between:- Gayam Satyanarayana Reddy and three others. ..Petitioners And The Government of Andhra Pradesh rep., by its Secretary, Department of Social Welfare, Secretariat Buildings, Saifabad, Hyderabad and two others. ..Respondents. THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY W.P.No. 6425 of 2007 :O R D E R: In this writ petition, the petitioners seek a direction by way of writ of Mandamus to direct the respondents to pay compensation to the petitioners for acquiring their lands ad-measuring Ac.04-47½ cents covered by survey No. 414 situated at Mattampalli village, Nalgonda district, for the purpose of providing house sites to weaker sections of the society. The above said land ad-measuring Ac.04-47½ cents was notified under Land Acquisition Act, 1894 by issuing a notification under Section 4 (1) of the Act on 19- 02-1996. Dissatisfied with the determination of the quantum of compensation fixed by the Land Acquisition Officer in respect of the acquired lands, petitioners sought a reference under Section 18 of the Act which was numbered as O.P.No. 54 of 1997 on the file of learned Senior Civil Judge, Miryalaguda, Nalgonda district; and that the reference Court has adjudicated the issue determining the compensation for the acquired lands at the rate of Rs.50-00 per square yard. The matter was then carried in appeal to this Court in A.S.No. 1933 of 2001. The said appeal was partly allowed by fixing the compensation at the rate of Rs.48-00 per square yard apart from granting the relief of entitlement of other statutory benefits provided under the Act. It is the grievance of the petitioners that in spite of attaining finality to the adjudication with regard to the fixation of quantum of compensation, the compensation amount is not being paid. It is stated that in the execution petition filed in E.P.No. 135 of 2003 on the file of learned Senior Civil Judge, Miryalaguda for realization of the decretal amount, the amount has not been deposited. Counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of the respondents. It is specifically stated that steps are being taken to get sanction of the amounts from the government to deposit the same in the lower Court and the proposals submitted by the Revenue Divisional Officer are under active consideration. Therefore, it is not necessary to refer all the averments made in the counter affidavit. It is suffice to say that in view of the fact that respondents are taking steps to get sanction from the Government to deposit the amount of compensation awarded due to the petitioner and proposals are under active consideration, I dispose of the writ petition directing the respondents to deposit the compensation amount due to the petitioners as per the judgment and decree of this Court in A.S.No. 1933 of 2001 within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _____________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J Dated: 02-08-2007. Pvks/* Nb:- Furnish c.c. in one week. B/o pvks/*
