SANTHOSH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 03/04/2009 ALOG WITH WP(c).No.11191/09, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC,J. --------------------------- W.P.(C).Nos.11182 & 11191 OF 2009 ---------------------------- Dated this the 3rd day of April, 2009. JUDGMENT In these writ petitions, the grievance of the petitioners is that for widening Kozhencherry-Naranganam Kadamanitta- Mannarkulanji road, the property belonging to the petitioners is being trespassed into. It is needless to say that unless the property is acquired or surrendered in the manner known to law, properties cannot be made use for widening of any road. Accordingly the writ petitions are disposed of directing that the petitioners shall not be deprived of their properties otherwise than in accordance with law. (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/
