TRUE COPY PA TO JUDGE C.T.RAVIKUMAR, J. --------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) NO. 33908 OF 2010 ---------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 10th day of January, 2011. JUDGMENT An extend of 2.47 Ares of land belonging to the petitioner was acquired under the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act 1894. This writ petition has been filed aggrieved by the delay in the matter of passing orders on Ext.P1 which is an application filed under Section 28A of the Land Acquisition Act for redetermination of the compensation on the basis of award in LAR Nos. 81, 102 and 103 of 2003. 2. I have heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and also the learned Government Pleader. 3. When an application for redetermination of the compensation is filed it is bound to be considered in accordance with law. Admittedly, Ext.P1 is an application filed under Section 28A of the Land Acquisition Act, 1989 for redetermination of the compensation on the basis of the awards in LAR Nos.81, 102 and 103 of 2003 and it is still pending before the respondent. Therefore, without making any observation as to the merits of contention raised by the petitioner in this writ petition, it is disposed of with a direction to the respondent to consider and W.P(C) NO. 33908 OF 2010 2 pass orders on Ext.P1 application filed under Section 28A of the Land Acquisition Act 1894 expeditiously at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, in accordance with law.
