MS.K.R.DEEPA, GOVERNMENT PLEADER MR.P.A.AHAMED, SC FOR INFORPARK THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 14/01/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C.) No.1347 of 2010 (P) --------------------------------- Dated, this the 14th day of January, 2010 J U D G M E N T The case of the petitioner is that in the land acquisition proceedings initiated his property has been wrongly categorised. The petitioner states that while the property has been categorised as category No.XII as wet land without access, it ought to have been categorised as Category No.V as high level wet land having gravel road access. On this basis, the acquisition proceedings are challenged. In my view, even if there is any substance in what the petitioner submits, that will not invalidate the proceedings, but, at best, may enable the petitioner to claim enhanced compensation. Therefore, these are matters which are to be adjudicated by the reference court, and the writ petition filed seeking invalidation of the land acquisition proceedings is misconceived. Therefore, the writ petition fails and is accordingly dismissed. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
