3. The grievance of the petitioner is that though the land of the petitioner total admeasuring Ac. 6.00 guntas comprised in Survey Numbers 237, 238 and 239 of Shivanenigudem village of Chityal Mandal in Nalgonda District, was acquired for the purpose of excavation of an irrigation canal, no compensation was paid to her. The petitioner, who is residing abroad, executed a General Power of Attorney (GPA) in favour of her mother, namely, Smt. Eluri Laxmi W/o.Sudhakar, authorizing her to manage the subject property and to receive compensation on her behalf. It is stated that despite several representations made by the GPA holder to the respondent authorities seeking payment of compensation. no action was taken, thereby compelling the petitioner to invoke the jurisdiction of the Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India.

4. When the matter is taken up for hearing on 10.03.2026, learned Assistant Government Pleader for Land Acquisition placed on record written instructions, issued by the Land Acquisition Officer and Revenue Divisional Officer, Nalgonda District, wherein it has been stated that pursuant to the issuance of notification under Section 4(1) and draft declaration under Section 6 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, a consent award was passed under Section 11 (2) vide proceedings D/2176/2005 dated 20.11.2010. It is further stated that the GPA Holder of the petitioner namely, Smt. Eluri Laxmi, who is the mother of the petitioner, had already received compensation in respect of an extent of Acs.3.06 guntas. While this fact was not disputed by the learned counsel for the petitioner, it was contended that although the Section 4(1) Notification was issued in the name of the petitioner in respect of the total land admeasuring Ac.6.00 guntas covered by Survey Nos.237, 238, 239 and 241, compensation was paid only to the extent of Ac.3.06 guntas. In that view of the matter, the learned Assistant Government Pleader was directed to obtain further instructions.

5. Today, when the matter is taken up for consideration, fresh written instructions dated 26.03.2026 issued by the Land Acquistion Officer and RDO, Nalgonda District, are placed on record. As per the said instructions, the petitioner is the owner of the land admeasuring Ac.0.35 guntas in Sy.No.237; Ac.1.11 guntas in Sy.No.238 and Ac.1.00 guntas in Sy.No.239 total admeasuring Ac.3.06 guntas. However, Section 4 (1) notification was issued in the name of the GPA Holder of the petitioner in respect of the land admeasuring Ac.0.35 guntas in Sy.No.237, Ac.1.11 guntas in Sy.No.238 and Acs.2.09 guntas in Sy.No.239 and Ac.1.25 guntas in Sy.No.241 total admeasuring Acs.6.00 guntas.
