J U D G M E N T The writ petitioner has been knocking at the doors of this Court so often to recover the entitlement amount for the property that has been acquired. Ultimately after a long drawn process and at last on the initiation of a contempt case on 17th October, 2007 a draft for Rs.83,88,074/- was handed over. The contempt case was closed without prejudice to the rights of the petitioner to recover the balance, if any, in accordance with law. Thereafter, the writ petitioner moved Ext.P3 before the authorities showing the balance amount as Rs.7,17,444/-. He has also produced a letter Ext.P3(a) for taking steps for disbursement of the said amount. A remainder was again issued on 6.5.08. It is thereafter this writ petition is filed. I direct the first respondent in the original petition to consider the letter and remainder sent by the writ petitioner within a period of one month from today and if any balance amount is due to him it W.P.C. 18863 OF 2008 -:2:- be paid on the expiry of three weeks from that date. If the payment is not made the writ petitioner is at liberty to approach this Court for further directions. I earnestly hope and feel that the Government Pleader will give necessary instructions to the concerned authorities for having a proper decision in the matter. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE. ul/-
