Issue a writ in the nature of mandamus or any other appropriate writ, order or direction, commanding the respondents not to dispossess the petitioners from the property having nearly an extent of 28 acres held by them in Sy.No.43/3A & 44/4A of Mannarkkad I Village, Mannarkkad Taluk of Palakkad District, either by way of acquisition or otherwise. 2. Issue a writ in the nature of mandamus or any other appropriate writ, order or direction, commanding the seventh respondent to enquire into Exhibit P1 representation, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioners, within a time limit to be fixed by this Hon'ble Court. It was conceded by the learned counsel for the petitioners that the initial notification under Section 4(1) is yet to be promulgated. Under the above circumstances, I dispose of the Writ Petition without deciding the grounds raised, but giving liberty to the petitioners to file fresh Writ Petition raising the grounds presently raised along with other grounds after the notification is issued. However, since Ext.P1 W.P.C.No.29284/08 - 2 - has been submitted before the 7th respondent, the Managing Director, KINFRA, there will be a direction to the 7th respondent to take a decision on Ext.P7 and communicate the decision to the petitioners. srd PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE
