HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH AND HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI A.S.NO.714 OF 1998 Dt/20.9.2010 Between: The Land Acquisition Officer, Mandal Revenue Officer, Lingampet. ..Appellant And Narayana Reddy and another ..Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH AND HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI A.S.NO.714 OF 1998 JUDGMENT: (Per Sri Justice V.Eswaraiah) Heard. This appeal is liable to be dismissed, as the legal heirs of the deceased 1st respondent were not brought on record. Though the information about the death of the 1st respondent was known to the appellant as early as in July, 1998, no steps have been taken to get the legal representatives of the deceased 1st respondent on record. If that be so, the appeal is dismissed against the 1st respondent and it is also liable to be dismissed against respondent No.2. The lands in question are acquired for providing house sites to the weaker sections pursuant to the notification issued under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act (for short, the Act) dated 26.12.1979 and on reference under Section 18 of the Act, the Reference Court enhanced the compensation from Rs.7,000/- per acre to Rs.15,480/- per acre. In fact, the Reference Court enhanced the compensation keeping in view of the potentiality of the land as they are double crop wet lands as stated by claimants while examining P.Ws.1 and 2 by themselves and also marked exhibits and on behalf of the Referring Officer no witnesses were examined except marking of the award. Therefore, we do not see any merit in the appeal. The appeal is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. ________________ V.ESWARAIAH, J. ________________ NOUSHAD ALI, J. 20.9.2010 kpr
