Smt. Gurram Sarojana v. The State of Telangana

THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE CHALLA KODANDA RAM

WRIT PETITION No.4757 OF 2019

ORDER:

This writ petition is filed for the following relief:

“…………..Writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in not taking any action for payment of compensation to the petitioner in the light of the report submitted by the 4^th respondent to the 2^nd respondent in his report No.B/40/2015 dated 28.4.2016 confirming that the Mango Garden raised in the land to an extent of Ac.8-00 gts and the remaining land of Ac.8-01 gts has become fallow even though earlier the petitioner used to raise paddy crop with the aid of Tube Well in Sy.No.167 of Sircilla by the high handed and illegal acts of the 6^th respondent in consequence to supply of power to it by the 5^th respondent for crushing operation by laying the lines a midst of the aforesaid land even without taking recourse to acquisition or requisition proceedings, as being illegal, arbitrary and in violation of General Terms & Conditions of supply of the 5^th respondent, apart from Articles 14, 21 and 300-A of the Constitution of India and consequently direct the respondents to forthwith pay the compensation to the petitioner for the loss sustained by her……….”

The sum and substance of the petitioner’s grievance is that due to dust evolving from the stone crushing unit established by the 6^th respondent, the Mango garden belonging to the petitioner stopped yielding and thereby he suffered huge losses. It is the contention of the petitioner that the 5^th respondent i.e., the Cooperative Electric Supply Society Ltd., ought not to have provided power supply to the 6^th respondent by laying high tension lines from midst of her land. It is also the further assertion of the petitioner that since the 5^th respondent laid high tension lines through her land to provide power supply to the stone crushing unit of the 6^th respondent, she suffered losses and hence, she is entitled for damages.
