THE HON'BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 8946 of 2011 Dated: 01.08.2011 Between: Smt. Kakarla Annapurna, East Godavari District. ..... PETITIONER AND The Special Deputy Collector, East Godavari District and another. .....RESPONDENTS The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 8946 of 2011 O R D E R : This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the action of the 1st respondent-Special Deputy Collector (Land Acquisition) in proposing to disburse the compensation to the 2nd respondent in respect of the land to an extent of Ac.1.76 cents in Sy.No.373/1B of Bendapudi Village, Thondangi Mandal, East Godavari District is arbitrary and illegal. The petitioner claims title in respect of the land in question and for the said purpose, he relies upon the pleadings in O.S.No.62 of 2007 pending on the file of the Court of the Principal Junior Civil Judge, Tuni. It is alleged that though he made a claim, without considering the same the 1st respondent was proceeding to pass an award in favour of the 2nd respondent. No counter affidavit is filed on behalf of the 1st respondent. However, the 2nd respondent filed a detailed counter affidavit disputing the title claimed by the petitioner in respect of the land in question. Heard the learned counsel for both parties and perused the material available on record. Admittedly, the award enquiry is still pending before the 1st respondent. Hence, it is for the 1st respondent to consider the rival claims made by the petitioner and the 2nd respondent and take appropriate decision in accordance with the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. Thus, the interference by this court at this stage is unwarranted on any ground whatsoever. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 1st respondent to pass appropriate orders in accordance with law after considering the claims of both the writ petitioner and the 2nd respondent. Needless to mention that the interim order dated 06.04.2011 stands vacated. No costs. _____________ G. ROHINI, J Date: 01.08.2011 KLP
