THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.22729 of 2008 ORDER: The petitioners feel aggrieved by an endorsement, dated 22.09.2008, issued by the Special Deputy Collector, Tirupati, 2nd respondent herein. Through the impugned endorsement, the 2nd respondent informed the petitioners that they are ineligible to receive compensation in respect of land in Survey Nos.3-1D-2, 1E-1 & 1E-2 of Siddamagraharam Village, Varadaiahpalem Mandal, Chittoor District. The petitioners contend that the Tahasildar, Varadaiahpalem Mandal, 4th respondent herein, issued proceedings, dated 21.05.2007 stating that they are eligible to be paid compensation in respect of the said land, which is being acquired for the Special Economic Zone, whereas the 2nd respondent has totally misread the said proceedings. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Land Acquisition. At various stages, this Court had undertaken verification of the different proceedings, that formed part of the record. It emerged that the impugned endorsement was issued, on the assumption that the 4th respondent held through his proceedings, dated 25.01.2007, that the petitioners are ineligible to be paid ex gratia. However, it was noticed that the understanding of the 2nd respondent of the proceedings, dated 21.05.2007, of the 4th respondent is not correct. When the same is pointed out, the 2nd respondent had withdrawn the impugned endorsement, and had issued a fresh one, dated 29.11.2008. With this, the grievance of the petitioners stands redressed. The writ petition is accordingly closed. It shall be open to the petitioners to work out their remedies, in accordance with law, in the light of the fresh endorsement, dated 29.11.2008. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 01.12.2008 JSU THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.22729 of 2008 Date: 01.12.2008 JSU
