THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO W.P.NO.15075 OF 2002 ORDER: This writ petition has been instituted complaining that the respondent District Collector, has acquired the land in their possession without paying any compensation, for the purpose of construction of Kothagudem Thermal Power Station, V-Stage. The land in question has been assigned by the State in favour of one Sri Kilalru Ramu and the petitioners herein in the year 1984. The Sri Kilaru Ramu is, said to have died and, subsequently, the writ petitioners herein, are in possession and also cultivating the lands in question. The learned Government Pleader for Revenue has produced a communication received by her from the Sub-Collector’s Office, Palvoncha, Khammam District, dated 09-08-2008, wherein the extract of the stamped receipts of compensation received by the writ petitioners has been enclosed. The compensation has been paid to the writ petitioners on 07-03-2008 and 04-08-2008. She has also produced a Photostat copy of the stamped receipts in proof of receipt of compensation paid by the respondents herein, and the same is taken on record. In view of this development, which has taken place during the pendency of this writ petition, the cause in the writ petition, obviously, does not survive and hence, the writ petition is dismissed, but however, without costs. In case, the writ petitioners still have any grievance with regard to the quantum of compensation, liberty is preserved for them to agitate about the same, in accordance with law. --------------------------------- Nooty Ramamohana Rao, J mrk 12th April 2009
