                JSON_ENGData = json.load(json_file)
                print JSON_ENGData
        elif LNG == 'DEU':
            with open(DEU_RequestDataFile) as json1_file:    
                JSON_DEUData = json.load(json1_file)

Try this code:

import json

#Path you posted
path = os.path.join('C:'+os.sep+'Users'+os.sep+'Desktop'
                    +os.sep+'OWN'+os.sep+'2016_02_11'
                    +os.sep+'ENG_RequestData.json')

def get_tts(LNG,filename):
    try:
        if LNG == 'ENG':
            with open(filename) as json_file:    
                JSON_ENGData = json.load(json_file)
                print(JSON_ENGData)
        elif LNG == 'DEU':
            with open(DEU_RequestDataFile) as json_file:    
                JSON_DEUData = json.load(json_file)
        else:
            print("No Other Language")
    except:
        print("[ERROR] Cannot open the Request data file")

#Execute the function
get_tts('ENG',path)
