THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION No.22248 of 2010 ORDER: According to the petitioners, the second respondent had acquired their lands admeasuring Acs.30.30 guntas situated in Survey Nos.446/2, 447/2, 448/2, 452 & 453 of Rampally Village, Keesara Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, for the purpose of formation of Suryanarayana Vagu Project by issuing a draft Notification under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short ‘the Act’) dated 28.10.1993. The fourth respondent-Land Acquisition Officer-cum- Revenue Divisional Officer, Ranga Reddy District, after following the due procedure, passed Award dated 31.01.1995 fixing the market value of the acquired land @ Rs.13,000/- per acre. Dissatisfied with the compensation awarded, the petitioners, who received the amount under protest, sought for reference under Section 18 of the Act and the same was tried as O.P.No.231 of 1995 on the file of I Additional Senior Civil Judge, Ranga Reddy District at L.B.Nagar. The reference Court, after due enquiry, fixed the value of the acquired land @ Rs.30/- per square yard with all statutory benefits vide order dated 23.02.2001. Aggrieved by the same, the fourth respondent approached this Court and filed A.S.No.2441 of 2001. This Court dismissed the said appeal on 13.03.2003 confirming the award passed by the reference Court. As the respondents did not deposit the difference decretal amount, they filed E.P.No.30 of 2001 on the file of I Additional Senior Civil Judge, Ranga Reddy District. However, the respondents, instead of depositing the balance amount, deposited only half of the decretal amount on 03.12.2003. Thereafter, the fourth respondent approached the Supreme Court by filing Civil Appeal No.9054 of 2003 and the Supreme Court dismissed the same. The grievance of the petitioners is that even though they have addressed letter to the respondents on 16.06.2010 enclosing copies of all the judgments and requested them to deposit the balance decretal amount to the credit of the said E.P., the respondents have not deposited the amount so far. At the hearing, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Land Acquisition, on instructions, submits that the respondents are ready and willing to pay the balance decretal amount within eight weeks. Recording the said submission, the writ petition is allowed directing the respondents to deposit the balance decretal amount within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. N.V. RAMANA, J Date: 07.10.2010 va
