Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.D.V.CHALAPATHI RAO Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following : ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader for Revenue and at their request the matter is taken up for admission at the admission stage itself. The grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition is that she is a DKT patta holder of the lands in Sy.No.128 of Tollagangannapalli Village of Vallur Mandal of Kadapa District and without any acquisition proceedings and following due process of law, the respondents resumed the lands for the development of Air Port at Kadapa. According to her, she is entitled for compensation as per G.O.Ms.No.1307 dated 23.12.1993 and, therefore, she made a representation to the authorities seeking compensation. Since no action was initiated on her representations to pay the compensation, the present writ petition is filed by the petitioner seeking a direction to the respondents either to pay the compensation or to allot alternative lands. Admittedly, the lands of the petitioner have been resumed and the petitioner also has made representations to the authorities seeking compensation on 28.1.2008, 24.3.2008 and 26.5.2008 in terms of G.O.Ms.No.1307 dated 23.12.1993. Therefore, without going into the merits of the matter, the respondents are directed to consider and dispose of the representation of the petitioner, referred to above as per G.O.Ms.No.1307 dated 23.12.1993 and pass appropriate order within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With the above direction the writ petition is disposed of. N.V.RAMANA,J DT.23.6.2008 msv ....
