J U D G M E N T
Petitioners’ lands were acquired for widening of a road. It is
the contention of the petitioners that in the meeting held by the
District Collector and the other officers from K.S.T.P, it was
assured to the petitioners that a retaining wall will be constructed
for giving lateral support for the petitioners remaining land and
residential building, provided the petitioners surrender their land
for road for the value fixed by the authorities. On that basis,
consent was given and land was acquired and the petitioners did
not seek for any enhancement because of the assurance so made.
But after widening the road, the respondent did not construct the
retaining wall as assured.
2. The first petitioner has preferred Ext.P3 representation
before the District Collector seeking redressal of his grievance in
the matter.
3. Heard the learned Government pleader.
4. In the facts and circumstances, the District Collector,
Ernakulam shall consider Ext.P3 submitted by the first petitioner
WPC 26706/2005
: 2 :
and dispose of the same in accordance with law. He shall
produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ
petition before the District Collector for compliance.
Writ petition is disposed of as above.
