GOVERNMENT OF ANDHRA PRADESHIRRIGAION & CAD DEPARTMENTMemo No. 4684/R&R-1/2005-1 Dt: 18/1/2005Sub: <strong>Land</strong> <strong>Acquisition</strong> Delay in release <strong>of</strong> decretal Charges Instructions issuedReg.* * * * *All engineers in the department may be aware that land owners, if not satisfied withthe compensation awarded by LAO, approach civil courts for enhancement <strong>of</strong> compensation.If enhancement <strong>of</strong> compensation by court is considered to be high by the government,appeal is filed by LAO in High Court or Supreme Court. Based on final out come <strong>of</strong> this legalprocess, LAO sends proposal to Spl. Collector / district Collector/ CCLA / Government forrelease <strong>of</strong> balance amount payable to land owners.Recently, certain powers <strong>of</strong> Government were also delegated vid G.O. Ms. No. 9,Finance (W&P) (F.3) Department dated 9/72004 to Chief Engineers, District Collectors andSpl Collectors to expedite release <strong>of</strong> decretal charges to land owners.However in certain cases still proposal need to come to Government for approval andrelease <strong>of</strong> funds.But it has been observed in large number <strong>of</strong> cases that even after G.O. is issued,funds are not released to LAO for depositing in the court leading to unfortunate situation <strong>of</strong>either people approaching High Court and filling contempt cases against senior <strong>of</strong>ficers orapproaching civil court and leading to attachment <strong>of</strong> Government properties.Government have come across few cases where G.Os wer issued in the year 2003and still funds not released to LAOs. Its nothing but mockery <strong>of</strong> Government system. Suchdelays also put sever financial burden on State Exchequer in terms <strong>of</strong> interest at 15% perannum. In most <strong>of</strong> the cases interest becomes more than the principal amount.It has been informed that there are very large number <strong>of</strong> cases pending at field leveleven for examination <strong>of</strong> cases even for implementing Court orders.Recently high Court has taken a very serious view <strong>of</strong> this pendency and taken thisissue as separate WP and asked Government to submit its response/stand.A feeling is going around that I & CAD will not release funds till senior <strong>of</strong>ficers aremade to face contempt cases in High Court. Its unfortunate situation but looks to be somewhat true in view <strong>of</strong> facts that even GOs issued in 2003 are still pending for release <strong>of</strong> fundsand some cases where financial order <strong>of</strong> courts have com many years back are still pendingfor examination / implementation.144
