R1 BY ADV.MR.M.K.CHANDRAMOHAN DAS, S.C. R2 & R4 BY GOVT. PLEADER MR.K.J.MOHAMMED ANZAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 11/01/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: PIUS C. KURIAKOSE,J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P.(C) No.1435 of 2008 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated: 11th January, 2008 JUDGMENT The grievance of the petitioner whose bunk shop has been removed by the 2nd respondent as part of a bunk clearing operation in the city is two-fold. The first is Ext.P6 representation submitted by her to the Secretary of the 1st respondent-Corporation for allotment of another space for installing the bunk is not being considered. The second is that the third respondent, the National Insurance Company is turning a blind eye towards her request for payment of compensation, on the reason that the company is not bound to pay compensation on account of the action taken by the State. I do not propose to decide either of the prayers on merits. Since Ext.P6 representation is pending before the 1st respondent and since the plight of the petitioner is apparently not at all satisfactory, the first respondent is directed to consider Ext.P6 bestowing as much sympathy as it deserves and take a decision on Ext.P6 at the earliest and at any rate within one month of receiving copy of this judgment. Once decision is taken, the same will be communicated to the petitioner. As for the petitioner's grievance against the Insurance Company, the third respondent-Insurance Company is directed to W.P.C.No.1435/08 - 2 - consider the claim submitted by the petitioner and if the Company is not inclined to entertain the claim, a reasoned order be passed declining the claim and communicate that order to the petitioner. It will be open to the petitioner to impugn that order on all available grounds before appropriate other fora. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. srd PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE
