WP(C).NO. 9597 OF 2009 ............................................ DATED THIS THE 8th DAY OF JUNE, 2009 JUDGMENT The petitioner states that an application filed by him under Section 28A(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, more than nine months ago, is yet to be disposed of. Learned Government Pleader submits, on instructions, that the question has been finalised and placed for approval of the Collector. Needless to say, any delay in disposing of Section 28A application will only affect the exchequer because the claimant will be entitled to statutory interest and other components and the delay will only add on such liability to the State. Therefore it is ordered that the petitioner's application under Section 28A shall be finally disposed of within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Writ petition ordered accordingly, leaving open all other issues. THOTTATHIL B RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE lgk/8/6
