THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.4675 of 2007 ORDER: Through different notifications, the land in various survey numbers of Nelaturu Village, Muthukuru Mandal, Nellore District, was acquired by the Government, for the purpose of establishing a Mega Power Station at Krishnapatnam. The petitioner claims rights in respect of the said lands. The names of respondents 3 to 5 appear to have been shown in the relevant notifications. Anticipating that the compensation may be paid to respondents 3 to 5, the petitioner got submitted a representation before the Land Acquisition Officer, the 2nd respondent, apart from getting issued notice through the lawyer. This Writ Petition is filed with a prayer to declare the action of the 2nd respondent in proposing to pay the compensation to respondents 3 to 5 to the exclusion of the petitioner. The petitioner traces his title and entitlement to the lands as well as to receive the compensation by way of inheritance. No counter-affidavit is filed by respondents 1 and 2. Respondents 3 to 5 filed counter denying the averments made by the petitioner. It is stated, inter alia, that the compensation in respect of Acs.3.81 cents of land was paid on 13.04.2007, and for the land in survey No.286 etc., was paid to Sri E.Mukunda Reddy, junior paternal uncle of respondents 3 to 5, in the month of March, 2007. Heard Sri P.Sridhar Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Government Pleader for Land Acquisition and Sri P.Roy Reddy, learned counsel for respondents 3 to 5. The petitioner has, in a way, approached this Court at a belated stage. The nature of the claim made by him before the 2nd respondent is not immediately available. All the same, the 2nd respondent has not only passed the awards, but has paid the compensation by the time the writ petition was admitted. Therefore, the prayer in the writ petition cannot be considered, nor any relief can be granted. If the petitioner is so advised, he has to work out the remedies, vis-à-vis the awards that may have been passed by the 2nd respondent. Hence, the Writ Petition is dismissed, leaving it open to the petitioner to pursue the remedies vis-à-vis the awards in respect of the lands mentioned in the writ petition. There shall be no order as costs. _____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.02.06.2010. GJ
