RAVINDRAN, J. ------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.30503 of 2010 ------------------------------- Dated this the 29th day of November, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner who owns a small plot of land in Androth Island of Lakshadweep has filed this writ petition seeking a direction to the respondents to consider his objections against the proposal to acquire his land for the purpose of construction of a road and to drop all further proceedings for acquisition of his land. 2. When the writ petition came up for admission on 3.11.2010, the learned standing counsel for the Union Territory of Lakshadweep was directed to get instructions. Today when the writ petition was taken up, the learned standing counsel, on instructions, submitted that as on today, no notification has been issued to acquire the petitioner's land and that in the notification already issued, the petitioner's land is not included. In such circumstances, I am of the opinion that the writ petition is pre-mature and it is accordingly dismissed without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to object to the acquisition as and when his land is notified for acquisition. P.N. RAVINDRAN, JUDGE. nj.
