J U D G M E N T When the matter is taken up for hearing, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that after the filing of the writ petition, on 16.6.2003, the Honourable Mayor of the Corporation, intervened and convened a meeting, which was attended to by the petitioner, as well as the Land Acquisition Officer. It is submitted that a compromise formula was suggested and the petitioner surrendered a portion of his land in his possession, and to compensate that loss, the Corporation has allotted land in its possession to the petitioner. Hence, the matter has been amicably settled and it is not necessary to consider the matter on its merits. It is further submitted by the Corporation that for widening of the pathway, no further acquisition will be made. In view of the submission, no further orders are necessary in this Original Petition. Accordingly, this Original Petition is closed. K.PADMANABHAN NAIR, JUDGE nj.
