JUDGMENT
The grievance voiced by the petitioner in this Writ Petition is
that though Exts.P1 and P3 applications under Section 28A of the
Land Acquisition Act were submitted by him seeking redetermination
of the compensation payable for his properties on the basis of the
court awards relied on in Exts.P1 and P3, the respondent-Land
Acquisition Officer has not so far completed the enquiry and passed
the award.
2. When this Writ Petition came up for admission today,
Mr.D.Anilkumar, Senior Govt. Pleader took notice on behalf of the
respondent. I have heard Mr.Binoy Vasudevan, counsel for the
petitioner and Mr.D.Anilkumar, Senior Govt. Pleader.
3. It is clear from Exts.P2 and P4 acknowledgment cards that
the petitioner had submitted Exts.P1 and P3. Under these
circumstances, I dispose of the Writ Petition issuing the following
directions:
If Exts.P1 and P3 have not yet been finally disposed of, the
respondent will hold all necessary enquiries into Exts.P1 and P3 and
pass awards on Exts.P1 and P3 at his earliest and at any rate within
W.P.C.No.24522/08 – 2 –
three months of receiving copy of this judgment. If it is seen that
Exts.P1 and P3 have already been disposed of, the respondent will
communicate the decision to the petitioner within two months of
receiving copy of this judgment.
