THE HONBLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.14152 of 2008 ORAL ORDER: An extent of Ac.215.12 cents of land situated in Venkateswarapuram Village, Maddipadu Mandal, Prakasam District was acquired for the purpose of Gundlakamma Reservoir Project following the procedure prescribed under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. It is not in dispute that an Award was already passed so far as the land acquired is concerned. However, regarding the structures standing on the said land, the Special Deputy Collector, Land Acquisition Officer, by proceedings dated 26.5.2005 furnished a statement showing the particulars of the structures and requesting to prepare the estimated value of the said structures. The petitioner’s name was shown at Sl.No.2 of the said statement. The grievance of the petitioner is that thereafter, the respondents failed to take any steps and till today no compensation has been paid to the petitioner for the structures. The learned Government Pleader under instructions stated that since a technical report called for by the Land Acquisition Officer is awaited, Award could not be passed. The learned Government Pleader also assures that the Award would be passed soon after receipt of the technical report. Accordingly, recording the statement of the learned Government Pleader the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to pass Award with regard to the structures standing on the land of the petitioner as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs. 17.07.2008.
