No. 1022 of 2025 JUDGMENT: (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice Vakiti Ramakrishna Reddy This Writ Appeal is preferred by the appellants against the order dated 06.03.2025 passed by the learned Single Judge in W.P. No. 31004 of 2023. By the said order, the learned Single Judge disposed of the Writ Petition filed by the respondent Nos. 1 and 2 herein by setting aside the impugned proceedings No.E1/1969/2023 dated 13.10.2023 passed by present Appellant No. 2 while directing the appellant No.2 to initiate fresh land acquisition proceedings in respect of subject land of the writ petitioners admeasuring Acs.2.00 guntas each and to pay compensation in accordance with the provisions of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 (for short “the Act of 2013”) within a period of eight months from the date of receipt of the order.

This Court vide order dated 28.04.2023 had directed the Appellant No.2 to conduct enquiry and consider the claims of the respondent Nos. 1 and 2 and pay compensation to them in respect of the subject property in accordance with law, within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of the order.
