The petitioner, who claims to be the brother of the 2nd respondent states that he is also entitled to a share in the compensation payable to the land acquired, however, since his name is not shown in the notification, the respondents are proceeding with the award enquiry without any notice to him. In the circumstances, he made a representation dated 02-07-2008 bringing to the notice of the 1st respondent that he is having 1/6th right in the land in question and therefore, to consider his claim while awarding the compensation.

Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader and having regard to the dispute raised by the petitioner with regard to the apportionment of the compensation payable in respect of the land in question, without expressing any opinion as to his claim, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 02-07-2008 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. Till such order is passed, no compensation shall be paid to the 2nd respondent, if not already paid. No costs. ______________ G. ROHINI,J Date: 22-07-2008 KLP
