Ext.P1 notice was issued to the second petitioner. The line was drawn in 1995 without fixing the preliminary valuation and compensation. It is stated that thereafter Ext.P2 notice was issued to the first petitioner, referring to the Land Acquisition Case and instructed the first petitioner to appear before the Officer on 17.11.2001 and to produce documents. Petitioners rely on Ext.P3 which is a Judgment of this Court directing quantification of the compensation in respect of tree cutting within four months. Petitioners submitted Ext.P4. Learned standing counsel on instructions, submits that as far as the first petitioner is concerned, he has already been awarded compensation in respect of two LA Cases. As far as the second WPC.4314/09 L 2 petitioner is concerned, it is pointed out that not much material is produced. As far as the second petitioner is concerned, in view of Ext.P4 representation, there will be a direction to the second respondent to look into Ext.P4 and take a decision thereon in accordance with law, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this Judgment. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. K. M. JOSEPH, JUDGE kbk.
