The petitioners, legal representatives of Smt. Pentamma (deceased), filed a writ petition before the Telangana High Court under Article 226 of the Constitution challenging the State's takeover of 5 acres of land in Chittaboinapally Village, Mahabubnagar District, without following due process under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 or the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, and without paying compensation. The land had been assigned to the original petitioner's husband in 1953 and was resumed by the Government in 1998 for construction of an Ashram School and Government quarters. The respondents contended that compensation of Rs.1,79,110/- had been determined under the 1894 Act and was ready for payment, but the petitioner had not come forward to receive it. The Court found that the deprivation of the petitioners' property and its use for a public purpose was not seriously disputed, and held, relying on the larger Bench decision in Land Acquisition Officer-cum-Revenue Divisional Officer, Chevella Division v. Mekala Pandu (2004), that assignees of Government land are entitled to full market value compensation equivalent to that of pattadars. The judgment as provided is truncated before the final order is recorded.
