Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W. P (C) No. 7709 of 2009 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 26th March, 2009. J U D G M E N T The petitioner claims to be owner of certain properties which were acquired by the respondents 1 to 3. According to the petitioner, an award has been passed fixing the compensation payable. But the same is not being paid on account of a dispute regarding title to the property raised by the 4th respondent. The petitioner submits that by Ext. P3, the 2nd respondent has directed the 3rd respondent to take a final decision regarding the entitlement of compensation, which is in dispute between the petitioner on the one hand and the 4th respondent on the other. The petitioner seeks a direction to take a final decision regarding the matter. Learned counsel for the petitioner also points out that as evidenced by Ext. P7, notice was issued to the parties. 2. I have heard the standing counsel for respondents 1 to 3. In the nature of the order I propose to pass, I do not think it necessary to issue notice to the 4th respondent at this juncture. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 3rd respondent to pass final orders in the matter as directed in Ext. P3 in respect of which Ext. P7 notice had been issued, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. It would be open to the 3rd respondent to make a site inspection as requested for by the petitioner, if it is necessary to take a final decision in the matter. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge.
