TO JUDGE Mn ANTONY DOMINIC, J ....................................................... W.P.(C).24677/2011 .............................................. Dated this the 19th day of September, 2011 JUDGMENT Petitioner claims to be the President of Ollukkara Sree Mariamman Kovil, a portion of which is under the acquisition for the widening of NH 47. It appears that the arbitration proceedings under the National Highways Act are pending before the respondent, the statutory arbitrator. Before the said authority, petitioner filed Ext.P4 application requesting for the appointment of an expert committee for visiting the site and for ascertaining the matters mentioned in the application. Orders have not been passed thereon so far. It is with this complaint the writ petition is filed requiring the respondent to pass orders on Ext.P4. 2. I heard the learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondent also. 3. Considering the case of the petitioner regarding the pendency of Ext.P4, at this stage all that is required is that the respondent shall consider Ext.P4 application and pass orders thereon. This the respondent shall do as expeditiously as possible W.P.(C).24677/11 2 at any rate, within two weeks of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, Judge mrcs
