RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ W.P.(C). No.15985/2010-W ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dated this the 2nd day of June, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner herein is aggrieved by the proposal to acquire his property for the purpose of the sixth respondent-Kerala University of Health and Allied Science, Medical College, Thrissur. The main contention raised is that actually sufficient land is available and, therefore, the proceedings have been initiated without any justification. Ext.P1 is the copy of the Government Order granting administrative sanction to the sixth respondent to acquire 17.95 acres of land adjoining to it, as certified by the Revenue authorities. 2. It is submitted by the sixth respondent that notification under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act has not been issued and the petitioner is yet to challenge the notification after the same is issued by the Land Acquisition Officer. 3. It is pointed out by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the representation filed by the petitioner as per Ext.P4 before the District Collector has been forwarded to the Registrar of the University as per Ext.P5. But at this stage, it is too premature to issue a direction to the District Collector or the University to consider the W.P.(C). No.15985/2010 -:2:- contentions raised by the petitioner as the procedures under the Land Acquisition Act are yet to be put into motion. Leaving open the remedy of the petitioner to pursue his objections before the concerned authority after the procedures under the Land Acquisition Act are initiated, this writ petition is disposed of. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) ms
