J U D G M E N T The petitioner is aggrieved by the fixation of land value by the respondent as per Ext.P7 communication in respect of the plot allotted to the petitioner. Petitioner disputes the correctness of the computation of land value payable by the petitioner for the plot allotted to him. The learned standing counsel appearing for the respondent submits that GCDA would make a fresh computation after hearing the petitioner, without conceding any mistake in the computation. Accordingly the writ petition is disposed of with the following directions: The respondent is directed to make a fresh computation of the value of the plot after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner. This shall be done within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. However, I hasten to add that I have not considered the correctness of the contentions of the parties on merits. The petitioner shall forward a certified copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition to the respondent for compliance. The writ petition is disposed of as above.
