JUDGMENT
The petitioner has approached this Court seeking for a direction to the
third respondent to take a decision on Ext.P5 application filed by him under
Section 28A of the Land Acquisition Act. The property acquired is an
extent of 0.0354 hectares of land in R.S. No.200/7 of Karuvanthuruthy
village. The notification under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act
was published on 14.1.1991 and the award has been passed by the Land
Acquisition Officer on 16.2.1992. The petitioner is relying upon the
judgment in L.A.A.No.4/2008, produced as Ext.P4, which was rendered in a
connected case. Aggrieved by the delay in the matter, this writ petition has
been filed. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the
application is filed within time.
2. I am not expressing any view on the permits of the claim. There
will be a direction to respondents 2 and 3 to take a decision on Ext.P5 in
accordance with law, after hearing the petitioner and the first respondent,
within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this
judgment. The petitioner will produce a copy of this judgment along with a
20713/2010 2
copy of the writ petition for compliance.
The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs.
(T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.)
