The first petitioner is the son and the legal<\/p>\n<p>heir of Smt.K.K.Meenakshy Amma and the second petitioner is the son<\/p>\n<p>and legal heir of one Praveena who was the daughter of<\/p>\n<p>Smt.Meenakshy Amma. 0.3157 hectare of property in Survey No.<\/p>\n<p>209\/6 of Ramanthali Village belonging to Smt.Meenakshy Amma was<\/p>\n<p>acquired for the purposes of naval academy and Ext.P1 award notice<\/p>\n<p>was issued to Smt.Meenakshy Amma. Smt.Meenakshy Amma did not<\/p>\n<p>seek a reference under Section 18. But after Smt.Meenakshy Amma<\/p>\n<p>died, Smt.K.K.Praveena, Meenakshy Amma&#8217;s daughter, filed an<\/p>\n<p>application under Section 28A for re-determination of the correct<\/p>\n<p>compensation for the acquired properties on the basis of court<\/p>\n<p>judgment in L.A.A.No.186\/1987 of the Sub Court, Payyannur as<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P2. Ext.P2 application was rejected by the land acquisition officer<\/p>\n<p>by Ext.P5 order on the reason that the claim of Smt.Praveena in Et.P2<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">WPC.No.17678\/07                     2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>that her properties were acquired for the naval academy is not<\/p>\n<p>supported by records maintained in the land acquisition office.          It<\/p>\n<p>appears that Ext.P5 order was not communicated to Smt.Praveena who<\/p>\n<p>passed away in the meanwhile. Upon Smt.Praveena&#8217;s demise her legal<\/p>\n<p>heirs Smt.K.K.Reena, K.K.Gokuldas, K.K.Pradeep Kumar etc. filed an<\/p>\n<p>application seeking their impleadment in Ext.P2 proceedings. In the<\/p>\n<p>meanwhile one K.K.Sukumaran, son of Smt.Meenakshy Amma,<\/p>\n<p>submitted Ext.P4- a fresh application which purports to be under<\/p>\n<p>Section 28A.\n<\/p>\n<p>      2.    The following are the prayers in the writ petition;<\/p>\n<p>      i)    Issue a writ of mandamus commanding respondent 2 and 3<\/p>\n<p>to dispose of Exts.P2 and P4 applications submitted by the petitioners<\/p>\n<p>within a time frame.\n<\/p>\n<p>      ii)   Quash Ext.P5.\n<\/p>\n<p>      3.    The third respondent has filed a detailed counter affidavit<\/p>\n<p>resisting the prayers and refuting the averments in the writ petition.<\/p>\n<p>The petitioners have filed a reply affidavit reiterating their contentions.<\/p>\n<p>      4.    Heard both sides. Learned Government Pleader submited<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">WPC.No.17678\/07                    3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>that Ext.P4 application has not been received by the land acquisition<\/p>\n<p>officer and that at any rate Ext.P4 cannot be construed as a valid<\/p>\n<p>application under Section 28A. Since no court judgment is seen relied<\/p>\n<p>on and no court judgment is produced also,       I have no difficulty in<\/p>\n<p>accepting the submission. As regards Ext.P5, the learned Government<\/p>\n<p>Pleader submits that though it may be true that Ext.P5 was not<\/p>\n<p>communicated      to    Smt.K.K.Praveena,      Ext.P5    was    actually<\/p>\n<p>communicated to the advocate through whom Smt.Praveena had<\/p>\n<p>submitted Ext.P2. I find no material produced on the basis on which it<\/p>\n<p>can be held that the present petitioners are having information<\/p>\n<p>regarding Ext.P5 earlier. Apparently Ext.P2 application under Section<\/p>\n<p>28 A was liable to be entertained and disposed of by the land<\/p>\n<p>acquisition officer on its merits. Ext.P2 is rejected on the ground that<\/p>\n<p>the claim of Smt.Praveena in Ext.P2 that her property was acquired is<\/p>\n<p>not supported by records.   I have no difficulty in accepting the case of<\/p>\n<p>the petitioners that in paragraph 1 of Ext.P2 was referring to her<\/p>\n<p>mother&#8217;s property which was the subject matter of Ext.P1 award notice.<\/p>\n<p>Thus Ext.P2 could have been considered by the land acquisition officer<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">WPC.No.17678\/07                       4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>as an application submitted by Smt.Praveena as legal heir of her mother<\/p>\n<p>Meenakshy Amma who had passed away after receiving the award<\/p>\n<p>notice. Since that is the only reason on which Ext.P2 has been rejected,<\/p>\n<p>I am of the view that Ext.P2 should be considered on its merits treating<\/p>\n<p>it as an application submitted by Smt.Praveena in her capacity as legal<\/p>\n<p>heir of her mother Meenakshy Amma.\n<\/p>\n<p>      3.    Therefore, I quash Ext.P5 and direct the land acquisition<\/p>\n<p>officer to reconsider Ext.P2 with notice to the petitioners and also to all<\/p>\n<p>the legal heirs of deceased Meenakshy Amma whose names and<\/p>\n<p>addresses are given in Ext.P4 produced along with the writ petition. It<\/p>\n<p>is made clear that Ext.P2 need be treated by the land acquisition officer<\/p>\n<p>as a valid application only if it is seen that the court judgment produced<\/p>\n<p>along with Ext.P2 pertains to a case relating to acquisition under the<\/p>\n<p>very same Section 4(1) notification and Ext.P2 has been filed within<\/p>\n<p>the statutory period of that court judgment. In other words, only if it is<\/p>\n<p>found that the court judgment is relevant and that the application has<\/p>\n<p>been filed within the statutory period , Ext.P2 need be considered on<\/p>\n<p>merits.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">WPC.No.17678\/07                      5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>      Orders and directions in compliance with the above directions<\/p>\n<p>will be passed by the land acquisition officer at the earliest and at any<\/p>\n<p>rate within four months of receiving copy of this judgment. I find that<\/p>\n<p>the learned Government Pleader is justified in making submission that<\/p>\n<p>the Government should not be made to lose on account of the delay<\/p>\n<p>which has been caused in the matter and that the petitioners and the<\/p>\n<p>other legal heirs of Smt.Meenakshy Amma were not very deligent in<\/p>\n<p>prosecuting the matter and therefore the Government should be<\/p>\n<p>exonerated from the obligation of paying statutory interest at the rates<\/p>\n<p>mentioned in Section 34 on the redetermiend compensation if it is<\/p>\n<p>ultimately found that Ext.P2 is a valid application. It is therefore made<\/p>\n<p>clear that even if Ext.P2 is found to be a valid application, the awardees<\/p>\n<p>pursuant to Ext.P2 will not be entitled for statutory interest under<\/p>\n<p>Section 34 of the      Act on the award amount for the period from<\/p>\n<p>31-03-2001 till the date of filing of the writ petition -06\/06\/2007.<\/p>\n<p>                                                  PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE<br \/>\n                                                          JUDGE<\/p>\n<p>sv.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">WPC.No.17678\/07    6<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court Sukumaran K.K vs State Of Kerala on 26 June, 2008 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM WP(C).No. 17678 of 2007(D) 1.
