PLEADER SRI.BASANT BALAJI THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 06/11/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P.(c).No.32682 OF 2008 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 6th day of November, 2008 JUDGMENT The grievance voiced by the petitioners is that applications submitted by them under Section 28A of the Land Acquisition Act ( Exts.P2 to P13) for redetermination of the compensation payable for their acquired properties on the basis of some relevant court award are not being disposed of finally by the third respondent. Learned Government Pleader who took notice on behalf of the respondents sought for time to get instructions from the third respondent. However since it is clear from Ext.P14 that the applications were taken on file by the third respondent and enquiry has been started, I am inclined to dispose of the writ petition at this stage itself issuing the following directions: The third respondent is directed to complete the enquiry into the applications under Section 28A ( Exts.P2 to P13) and take decisions on those applications in accordance with law at the earliest and at any rate within two months of receiving copy of this judgment.
