Petitioner is the absolute owner and possessor of house plot bearing Municipal No.5-104/4 (Old No.5-104) admeasuring 610.55 sq. yds situated at Raidurg Panmaktha Village, Ranga Reddy District, which she purchased under a registered sale deed dt.28-09-1988 from one Mohd.Ibrahim under Doc.No.7561/1988 (Ex.P-3).

2. However, an extent of 421 sq. yds out of this land along with other lands in Gachibowli village was notified under Sec.4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short "the Act") on 05-02-2010 for acquisition followed by declaration under Section 6 on 26-04-2010. In the said notification and declaration, petitioner's name was not shown.

3. Thereafter an award was passed in proceedings No.I/3230/1999 dt.06-09-2010. In the award also, the name of the petitioner was not reflected.

12. Ultimately, an exchange deed was executed by the State of Telangana through its Revenue Divisional Officer in favour of petitioner on 10-04-2018 transferring 248 sq. yds in Sy.No.28 to the petitioner, but petitioner received the transferred land under protest and this is specifically recorded in the said deed.

13. Petitioner has now filed this Writ Petition contending that in a letter No.6311/G1/2017 dt.18-10-2017, the District Registrar, Ranga Reddy District had stated that both the value of her land in Raidurg Panmaktha village and the value of the land in Khajaguda village was Rs.20,000/- per sq. yard; but only 280 sq. yds was allotted to her in Khajaguda village instead of 421 sq. yds and she is entitled to allotment of a further extent of 173 sq. yds in Sy.No.28 of Khajaguda village since her land in Raidurg Panmaktha is actually commercial bit of old Bombay Highway road whose market value is Rs.30,000/- per sq. yard.

14. It is her further contention that the value of land in Sy.No.1 at Raidurg Panmaktha was Rs.18,000/- per sq.yd in 2009 and Rs.30,000/- in 2018, but treating it as Rs.6500/- per sq.yd only lesser extent of land of only 248 sq.yds in Sy.No.28 of Khajaguda which was only Rs.11,000/- per sq.yd in 2009 and now Rs.20,000/- was given to her. She filed certificates issued by the Jt.Sub-Registrar-II, Ranga Reddy in 2018 in support of her plea.

15. The 6th respondent has filed a counter-affidavit stating that award was passed in respect of the land of the petitioner on the ground that there was no claim over the said land by the petitioner invoking Section 31(3) of the Act; petitioner requested for additional land of 173 sq. yds at Khajaguda, that the land value of petitioner's in Sy.No.1 of Raidurg was Rs.6500/- per sq. yd whereas the land in 5 MSR,J Sy.No.28 of Khajaguda is Rs.11,000/- per sq. yd; and the land allotted to her at Khajaguda is of commensurate value to the 421 sq. yds of land which was acquired from her and she is not entitled to any more land.
