THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO.20967 OF 2009 ORDER: An extent of Acs.4.58 cents of land, along with certain other bits of land, in Survey No.86/1 of Karakambadi Village, Renigunta Mandal, Chittoor District, was notified for acquisition on 01.11.2008 under Section 4 (1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 {“the Act” for brevity}, for the purpose of expansion of reservoir viz., Mallemadugu Irrigation Tank. The petitioners state that they are entitled to be paid compensation for that land. Their grievance is that, in spite of their request, the respondent is not referring the matter under Section 30 of the Act to the Civil Court. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Land Acquisition. There is some uncertainty as to the stage of proceedings. While the petitioner has contended that the award was already passed, the learned Government Pleader reports that no instructions have been received so far. Be that as it may, in case no award was passed by the respondent in respect of the land referred to above, the feasibility of referring the same under Section 30 of the Act shall be considered. On the other hand, if the award is passed, it shall be open to the petitioners to work out their remedies under Section 18 of the Act, if it is otherwise permissible. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ (L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J) 26th April 2010 Note: CC by four days B/O RRB
