PADMANABHAN NAIR, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P(C) NO.12388 OF 2008 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 9th day of April, 2008 J U D G M E N T -------------------- Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for respondents 1, 2, 4 and 5 and learned counsel Shri Jaleel for the third respondent. Notice to the 6th respondent dispensed with. 2. The grievance of the petitioner is that Exhibit P6 representation filed by him before the third respondent is still pending and no decision has been taken so far. Exhibit P5 produced by the petitioner itself shows that award was passed and award notice was issued to the petitioner as early as on 10.3.2006. But it is only just and proper that the third respondent considers Exhibit P6 and takes decision as expeditiously, if the same was received. In the result, Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the third respondent to consider and pass orders in Exhibit P6 representation filed by the petitioner as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of W.P(C) NO.12388 OF 2008 -: 2 :- receipt of a copy of this judgment, after hearing the petitioner, if the same has already been received by the third respondent and is pending. If possession of land has not already been taken, the same shall stand adjourned until the disposal of Exhibit P6. K. PADMANABHAN NAIR, JUDGE. vsv K.
