I.    The factual matrix is thus:


      a)   At   the    instance     of   Additional   General    Manager,   NTPC,
Visakhapatnam, the Land Acquisition Officer (LAO) acquired Ac.111.16 cents in S.No.461/2B and 461/2C in Block No.XX of Cheepurupalli (West) Village in Paravada Mandal under award No.2/1999, dated 31.05.1999, for establishment of M/s.Simhadri Thermal Power Project. As there were disputes among claimants 1 to 10, the LAO has made a reference under Section 30 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 for judicial determination and deposited the compensation amount.

(f) One Kaveri Lakshmibai who is the daughter of the sister of B.V.S. Narayanarao never looked after the affairs of B.VS. Narayanarao. In the year 1993, when the Government has appointed officers for collection of particulars of lands to be acquired for establishing Thermal Power Project in Cheepurupalli, Lakshmibal made false statement to Mandal Revenue Officer, Paravada claiming that she is co-owner of the land in S.No.461. She also filed writ petition challenging the title of the 1st claimant.

(b) Velugula Ramayya died leaving his sons Venkateswarlu, 9th claimant and Sriramulu. Venkateswarlu died leaving the 8th claimant and four sons namely Ramana, Somunaldu, Manikyam and Rambabu. Velugula Sreeramulu died leaving the 10th claimant. The 1st Claimant or any other claimants have no right or interest over Ac.27-80 cents of land in S.No.461 and Ac.8-00 cents i.e., part of it was acquired for establishment of NTPC and it is covered in this O.P. At the time of award enquiry, the claimants appeared before Land Acquisition Officer and claimed compensation for Ac.8-00 cents but, he did not pay the same. There are structures and trees in that land. The claimants are entitled for the compensation for those trees and structures. Hence, the compensation may be ordered to be paid to the claimants 8 to 10 in three equal shares with subsequent interest.
