TO JUDGE tss K.PADMANABHAN NAIR, J = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P.(C).No. 10290 OF 2007 = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 1st day of April, 2008. = = = = = = = = == = = = = = = = = = = J U D G M E N T When the matter is taken up for hearing, the learned counsel on both sides submits that the Government had considered and passed an order on 20.2.2008, dropping the acquisition. A copy of the said order G.O.(Rt.)No.237/08/PWD, dated 20.2.2008 is made available. Since the land acquisition proceedings are dropped there is no need to pass any order on merits. The writ petition is closed recording that fact. Since the matter is closed, I find that it is not necessary to conduct vigilance enquiry also. K.PADMANABHAN NAIR, JUDGE bkn/-
