The said land was acquired by the Government for the purpose of Krishnapatnam Thermal Station, Muthukur Mandal, Nellore District, through Notification, dated 18.07.2006. The grievance of the petitioner is that though she made repeated representations for payment of compensation, the Land Acquisition Oﬃcer i.e., second respondent, is not paying the compensation nor is depositing before the civil Court. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents. The petitioner does not appear to be aware of the fact that an award was passed on 09.02.2007 itself. It is represented by the learned Government Pleader that the matter as regards the payment of compensation in respect of land to an extent of Ac.1.06½ cents in Sy.No.126 was referred to the Court of Senior Civil Judge, under Sections 30 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short ‘the Act’). Therefore, the petitioner has to work out her remedies in the said reference. Even if she is not a party to the said reference, she can get herself impleaded. Leaving it open to her to work out her remedies under Section 30 of the Act in the pending reference, the Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L.
