RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ W.P.(C). No.17576/2010-V ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dated this the 3rd day of August, 2010 J U D G M E N T The properties of the petitioners were acquired for the purpose of the Naval Academy. The late father of the Power of Attorney Holder of the petitioners was the owner of the property. He had received compensation under protest and filed an application dated 02/12/1989 under Section 28A of the Land Acquisition Act to re-determine the compensation. Accordingly, the compensation was re-determined and an amount of Rs.29,827/- was awarded by the second respondent. Ext.P1 is the copy of the award re-determining the compensation under Section 28A of the Land Acquisition Act. 2. Aggrieved by the amount awarded, the late Kelu Nair submitted an application under Section 28A(3) of the Land Acquisition Act to refer the matter to Civil Court. Ext.P2 is the true copy of the application filed in form No.22A and Ext.P3 is the postal receipt also. Aggrieved by the inaction in the matter, this writ petition has been filed. 3. It is unfortunate that even after long years nothing has been done by the second respondent or the other respondents in the matter. In the light of the fact that the application has not been considered so far, there will W.P.(C). No.17576/2010 -:2:- be a direction to the second respondent to consider Ext.P2 and take appropriate action to refer the matter to the Civil Court, if the application is in order it satisfies the requirements under law. The action will be finalised on Ext.P2 within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this Judgment if the same is not already disposed of. Appropriate communications will be issued to the petitioner in this regard. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. Sd/- (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) ms \\TRUE COPY// P.A TO JUDGE
