The petitioners are landholders having different extents as detailed in the affidavit in survey No.12 of Janampeta village in a total extent of Ac.8-08 guntas. The R.D.O. Mahaboobnagar initiated land acquisition proceedings in the month of February, 1994 to acquire the lands of the petitioners to provide house sites to the poor B.C., S.C., and S.T., persons and taken possession of the same on 11.2.1994 and till today no progress is made and they are not received any compensation from the concerned authorities. Aggrieved by the same, the present writ petition has been filed. 3. No counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of the respondents. 4. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for the respondents. 5. Sri Lakshmi Narayana for SriK.L.N.Swamy, advocate, submits that the petitioners are the owners of the land in question and the R.D.O. taken possession of the same, divided the same into house sites and distributed among beneficiaries, but no acquisition proceedings are initiated pertaining to the petitioners land and no compensation is paid therefor. 6. Except the averment in the petition that the petitioners are the owners of the land in question, there is no material placed on record to support the said contention. In the absence of any evidence of the same, the petitioners are not entitled for the relief sought for. I see no merit in the writ petition. 7. The writ petition is, accordingly, dismissed.
