THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.5940 of 2011 ORDER: An extent of Acs.4.72 cents of land owned by the petitioner in Survey No.737 of Gopavaram Village, Mahanandi Mandal, Kurnool District was acquired in the year 1986 for the purpose of providing house sites. An award was passed fixing the market value at Rs.2,300/- per acre. It is stated that the owners of other lands that are covered by the same notification and award, sought reference to a civil Court and that in O.P.Nos.56 and 57 of 1988, the learned the Subordinate Judge, Nandyal passed a decree on 31.08.1999 enhancing the market value to Rs.7,800/- per acre. The petitioner claims to have made an application under Section 28-A of the Land Acquisition Act (for short ‘the Act’) on 12.10.1999. It is stated that the Land Acquisition Officer, the respondent herein, made an endorsement to the effect that further steps could not be taken, since the appeals preferred by the Government are pending. The petitioner got issued a notice, dated 20.10.2010, to the respondent stating that A.S.Nos.2842 and 2834 of 1999 filed before this Court by the Government against the judgments in the O.Ps. have been dismissed on 13.04.2010 and that the application under Section 28-A of the Act be considered. His grievance is that no action has been taken thereon. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue. In case the petitioner has submitted a valid application under Section 28-A of the Act within the stipulated time, the same needs to be considered, once the appeals filed against the judgments in the O.Ps. are dismissed. Much would depend upon the relevant facts in this regard. The respondent has to verify the record pertaining to the application said to have been made by the petitioner on 12.10.1999 and the subsequent proceedings. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the respondent to pass appropriate orders on the notice got issued by the petitioner on 20.10.2010, within a period of two (2) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:09.03.2011 kdl
