THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.1855 of 1999 Dated: 22.01.2008 Between: P. Nurzahan. ….. Petitioner Vs. A.P.S.E.B.rep.by its Member, Secretary, Vidyuth Soudha,Somajiguda, Hyderabad and others. …..Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.1855 of 1999 ORDER: Heard Sri V.S.R.Anjaneyulu, learned counsel for the petitioner. No counter-affidavit has been filed on behalf of the respondents nor is there any representation on behalf of the learned Standing Counsel for the A.P.Transco. The grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition is that despite the existence of the scheme, the petitioner was not provided employment though the land was acquired from her mother. Along with the affidavit, a copy of the letter addressed by the Chief Engineer, dated 13.04.1988, requesting the petitioner’s mother to submit proof of her having purchased Ac.0.10 cents of land is filed. Also filed is a certificate issued by the Special Tahsildar (L.A.) P.W.D.Schemes,Vijayawada dated 13.01.1988 wherein it was stated that an extent of Ac:0.10 cents in R.S.No.283/2A situated in Ibrahimpatnam Village and Mandal belonging to Smt Chandbi, W/o Abdul Khadar was acquired in award No.5 of 1984 dated 25.02.1984 for formation of an approach road to the new bridge across cooling water canal on N.H.9 at Ibrahimpatnam Village and Mandal. No information is forthcoming as to what transpired thereafter. Since the Chief Engineer had himself called for information and, prima facie, it seems as if the land belonging to the petitioner’s mother was acquired in connection with the Vijayawada Thermal Power Station, it is but appropriate that the second respondent be directed to consider the case of the petitioner for appointment in accordance with the scheme, if any, applicable to the respondent-Board, which requires employment to be provided to the persons from whom lands have been acquired. The entire exercise, culminating in communicating the order to the petitioner, shall be completed within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. No costs. __________________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J Dated: 22.01.2008 sj
