SRINIVAS FOR MR.I.NAGESH Counsel for the Respondents: AGP FOR LAND ACQUISITION The Court made the following : ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a writ of mandamus to set aside notification and declaration, dated 02.06.2001 issued under Sections 4(1) and 6 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. Various lands of the petitioners mentioned in paragraph 2 of the affidavit were notified for acquisition by the respondents for construction of a road on National Highway No.214. Feeling aggrieved by the said notification, they filed the present writ petition. In paragraph 5 of the counter-affidavit filed by respondent No.1, it is stated that the petitioners have received 80% advance compensation amount on 06.08.2001 through various cheques and the details of the amounts and the cheque numbers have been mentioned in the said paragraph. It is further stated in paragraph 6 that subsequent to the receipt of the said amount, the petitioners appeared before respondent No.1 and informed him that they filed a memo in this Court through their counsel for withdrawal of the present writ petition and handed over a xerox copy of the said memo duly signed by them. Respondent No.1 enclosed a copy of the said memo said to have been filed by the petitioners. At the hearing, Sri Srinivas, learned counsel representing the petitioners fairly stated that the petitioners have not filed any reply affidavit controverting the above- mentioned averments contained in the counter-affidavit. Therefore, the averments contained in the counter-affidavit as referred to above deserve to be accepted. As the petitioners received 80% of the compensation amount and submitted a memo seeking withdrawal of the writ petition, they have acquiesced in continuing the writ petition. The writ petition is, therefore, dismissed. As a sequel to dismissal of main petition, interim order, dated 10.07.2001 is vacated and WPMP.No.17312 of 2001 is dismissed.
