THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S. RAO W.P.No. 14498 of 2006 14-08-2006 Between:- M. Shankaraiah and four others. Petitioners And The Special Dy. Collector, Land Acquisition Unit, Singareni Collieries Co., Ltd., Godavaraikhani, Karimnagar district and another. Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S. RAO W.P.No. 14498 of 2006 ORDER: The petitioners are legal heirs of late Musipatla Lachaiah, who owned lands ad-measuring Ac.04-00 gts in survey No.33 of Lingapur village, Ramagunda Mandal, Karimnagar district. The land was acquired under Award No. 5 of 1991 dated 27-03-1991 under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (‘the Act’ for brevity). The father of the petitioners then approached the Land Acquisition Officer, the first respondent herein, requesting to refer the matter for enhancement of the compensation under Section 18 of the Act. The same was considered and by Memo No.B2/146/96 dated-nil- July, 1996, the first respondent rejected the application of the petitioners’ father and sixteen others. Again, after a lapse of about ten years, the present writ petition is filed seeking a writ of Mandamus directing the respondents to refer the matter to the civil court. The Award was made by the first respondent on 27-03-1991. As seen from the Memo of the first respondent issued in July, 1996, the petitioners’ father and others made application some time in October, 1995 and the same was rejected in July, 1996. The matter must rest there. Whatever be the reason, the matter cannot be raked up at this point of time and the writ petition is frivolous. The writ petition is, therefore, dismissed. No costs. ____________ V.V.S. RAO, J Dated:14-08-2006 Pvks/*
