The learned Government Pleader appears and submits that there has been some delay in disbursing the compensation and that occurred on account of the insufficiency of funds and that now funds have been released and that the compensation due in terms of the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act will be disbursed to the claimants within one month from today. This undertaking is recorded and the writ petition is disposed of. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE mt/-
