JUDGMENT
Lands belonging to the petitioners were
acquired for the purpose of Kottiyam Distributory
of Kallada Irrigation Project. The petitioners did
not file an application under Section 18 of the
Land Acquisition Act. However, when compensation
was enhanced in L.A.R.No.566 of 1988, the
petitioners submitted Exts.P2(a) to P2(e)
applications under Section 28A of the Land
Acquisition Act. It is stated that those
applications are pending. The prayer in the Writ
Petition is to issue a writ of mandamus commanding
the respondents to consider and dispose of Exts.P2
(a) to P2(e) applications.
2. Learned Government Pleader, on
instructions, submits that Exts.P2(a) to P2(e)

applications are pending disposal. It is submitted
that hundreds of applications under Section 28A are
pending and those applications will be disposed of
in accordance with priority. Accordingly, there
will be a direction to the third respondent to
dispose of Exts.P2(a) to P2(e) applications in
accordance with priority, however, within a period
of three months.
The Writ Petition is disposed of as above.
