W.P.(C) NO. 27178 of 2004

Dated this the 29th day of May , 2008
JUDGMENT
This Writ Petition is remaining defective since October 2004 on
the reason that the petitioners have not remitted process. It is seen
from the writ petition that the grievance of the petitioners is that
Ext.P2 petition filed by the petitioners under Section 28A of the Land
Acquisition Act has not been finally disposed of. In all probability,
Ext.P2 would have been disposed of by the 3rd respondent. The
learned counsel for the petitioners have no idea regarding the status
of Ext.P2.
2. The learned Government Pleader submits that if Ext.P2 is
even now pending, there will not be any serious objection in directing
the disposal of Ext.P2 within a time frame. Under the above
circumstances, I dispose of this writ petition issuing the following
directions;
If Ext.P2 application submitted by the petitioners is even now
pending before the 3rd respondent, the third respondent will issue a
hearing notice regarding the same to the petitioners and dispose of the
WPC No. 27178/2004 2
same in accordance with law at the earliest and at any rate within four
months of receiving a copy of this judgment. If Ext.P2 is already
disposed of and the decision is not communicated to the petitioners,
the third respondent will ensure that decision is communicated to the
petitioners within a period of two months of receiving a copy of this
judgment.
