NO.1411/2005 IN EP NO.151/2005 IN LAR NO.175/96 ON THE FILE OF THE SUB COURT – IA, KOZHIKODE FILED BY THE petitioner ON 8.11.2005 PIUS C. KURIAKOSE, J. ---------------------------------- W.P.(C) NO. 35368 of 2005 ---------------------------------- Dated this the 25th day of June 2007 JUDGMENT The grievance of the writ petitioner is that an application for Cheque submitted by him for the release of the land acquisition compensation under deposit is not being considered by the Land Acquisition Reference Court. While admitting this writ petition, this court directed the Registry to inform the Sub Court concerned not to adjourn the cheque application filed by the petitioner beyond the vacation (Christmas Vacation) unless it is inevitable. Mr.Mohankumar, the learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he is not having any instructions from the party as to whether the cheque has been received. Whatever that be I believe that in all probability, the learned subordinate judge has already disposed of the cheque application on the basis of the instructions given to him by the Registry. The writ petition will stand disposed of, at any rate, issuing WPC No.35368/2005 2 the following directions: If the cheque application submitted by the petitioner is not already disposed of by the Land Acquisition Court, Kozhikode, the Court will hear and dispose of that application within two weeks of receiving a copy of this judgment.
