THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU W.P.No.25944 of 2002 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents 1 and 2 in not referring the dispute under Section 30 of the Land Acquisition Act to the Civil Court relating to acquisition of lands mentioned in Annexure-A for formation of Minor Irrigation Tank across Kakarlamadugu Vanka, Balaganapalle as arbitrary and illegal and consequently direct the respondents 1 and 2 to refer the matter to the Civil Court and pay compensation to the petitioners as per their share. It appears, for the purpose of construction of Minor Irrigation Tank across Kakarlamadugu Vanka, Balaganapalle, the lands held by the petitioners were acquired by initiating proceedings under Land Acquisition Act. However, since there was some dispute among the petitioners and unofficial respondents as to apportionment of compensation, petitioners requested the Land Acquisition Officer to refer the matter under Section 30 of the Land Acquisition Act to the Civil Court for its decision. Now there is no necessity of going into other details. It is suffice to notice that the respondents in their counter have stated that the two notifications issued under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act and they got lapsed due to efflux of time. Therefore, the cause in the writ petition has become infructuous and the same is liable to be closed. Accordingly, the writ petition is closed. No order as to costs. _____________ C.V.RAMULU, J Date: 2.6.2009 DA THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU W.P.No.25944 of 2002 2.6.2009
