The Hon'ble Sri Justice C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy Writ Petition No.31264 of 2011 Date: 28-11-2011 Between: P.R.Narayana Reddy and others ..... Petitioners AND The Government of Andhra Pradesh, Rep. by its Principal Secretary, Irrigatino and Command Area Development Department Secretariat, Hyderabad and 2 others .....Respondents Counsel for the Petitioners: Sri P.Sridhar Reddy Counsel for Respondent No.1: AGP for Irrigation and CAD Counsel for respondent Nos.2 & 3: AGP for Land Acquisition The Court made the following : Order: This Writ Petition is filed for a Mandamus to set aside award No.5/2011-2012, dated 22-06-2011. I have heard Sri P.Sridhar Reddy, learned Counsel for the petitioners, and perused the record. The grievance of the petitioners is that, while re-determining compensation under Section 28 A of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short ‘the Act’), respondent No.3 has not properly awarded compensation in terms of judgment and decree, dated 31-08-2000, in LAOP.No.54 of 1999, as confirmed in judgment, dated 29-08-2008, in AS.No.3833 of 2003. In my opinion, this Writ Petition is liable to be dismissed for the simple reason that, under Section 28 A (3) of the Act, if any person has not accepted the award made under Section 28 A (2) of the Act, he can, by an application in writing made to the Collector, require that the matter be referred for determination of the Court in accordance with the provisions of Sections 18 to 28 of the Act as far as they apply. In view of this effective remedy made available to the petitioners, this Court is not inclined to entertain this Writ Petition. Accordingly, while dismissing this Writ Petition, without going into the merits of the pleas advanced by the petitioners, they are given liberty to avail the aforementioned remedy. As a sequel, WPMP.No.38785 of 2011, filed by the petitioners for interim relief, is disposed of as infructuous. ______________________ (C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy, J) 28th November, 2011 LUR
