The Special Deputy Collector, Land Acquisition, South Central Railway, Karimnagar and another … Respondents THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 21958 OF 2011 ORDER : The petitioner claims to be the absolute owner and possessor of Ac.0.05 guntas of land situated in Sy.No.671 of Katlakunta Village of Medipally Mandal, Karimnagar District. The said land was acquired for the purpose of laying the railway line by the South Central Railway by initiating proceedings under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short ‘the Act’). This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the action of the 1st respondent in not considering the petitioner’s claim for compensation calculating the value of the open well in addition to the value of the land acquired is arbitrary and illegal. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Land Acquisition appearing for the 1st respondent. The material available on record shows that notice dated 21.12.2010 was issued in Form No.7 under Section 9(3) and Section 10 of the Act calling upon the petitioner to attend the award enquiry proposed to be held by the 1st respondent. It is pleaded by the petitioner that he submitted his claim before the 1st respondent on 02.02.2011. Aggrieved by the inaction on the part of the respondents, this writ petition is filed. Learned Government Pleader for Land Acquisition on instructions stated that the award enquiry is in progress and the petitioner’s claim would be considered in accordance with law. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider the petitioner’s claim, which was received in the Office of the 1st respondent on 02.02.2011 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. No costs. ______________ G. ROHINI, J Date: 11.08.2011 PNV/KLP Note: Issue CC in three days (B/o) PNV
