Consequential relief is also sought for. 2. After making Ext.P1 representation claiming compensation, petitioners moved the State Human Rights Commission by filing HRMP.4073/08 in which Ext.P2 order was passed which shows that the stand of the respondent was that the land was agreed to be surrendered free of cost for constructing Mini Highway. In the light of the above factual statement made in Ext.P2, this court will not be justified in granting the prayer sought for. However, if for some reason the petitioners are entitled, it is up to them to seek remedies before the appropriate civil court. Writ petition is closed. (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/ WPC.No. /09 :2 :
