The petitioners filed the writ petition to declare the action of the respondents in laying railway line on their lands without acquiring the same and paying compensation or ex-gratia as illegal and arbitrary. This Court by the interim order directed the respondents to consider payment of ex-gratia or the compensation, if the petitioners are otherwise eligible, as per law, and pass appropriate orders within a period of eight (8) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of that order and communicate the same to the petitioners. 2. The second respondent herein filed counter stating that in obedience of the order of this Court, enquiry was held after notice to the petitioners and an order was passed on 26.06.2009. It is stated that as the petitioners were found to have purchased the assigned land they are not eligible for ex-gratia or the compensation. It is also stated that the said order has been communicated to the petitioners. 3. Although there is delay in passing the order as per the direction of this Court, since the respondents have complied with the order of this Court, I am of the opinion that it is not a fit case to entertain this Contempt Case. 4. Contempt Case is, accordingly, dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. __________________ NOUSHAD ALI, J March 08, 2011 MD THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI CONTEMPT CASE NO.177 OF 2010 March 08, 2011
