TO JUDGE. K.PADMANABHAN NAIR, J. ================== W.P.C. No. 26698 OF 2007 --------------------------- Dated this the 22nd day of June, 2007 ======================== JUDGMENT Some property owned by the petitioner's late husband was acquired for a public purpose. There is no demand for the enhancement. So the matter was not referred to Sub Court. But in respect of another property which was also acquired for the same purpose, an award passed by the Land Acquisition Officer. The owner of that property claimed additional compensation. The matter was returned to the Sub Court and numbered as L.A.R.347/1998. The Sub Court, Kollam passed a decree granting enhancement which was confirmed by this court in L.A.A.353/1988. The petitioner filed a petition claiming benefits under Section 28 (A). Ext.P2, produced by the petitioner shows that the 3rd respondent had prepared a calculation statement and sent it to District Collector, Kollam, for allotment of necessary funds. The grievance of the petitioner is that till date no orders are passed in the petition filed by her. Considering the fact that the petitioner is a widow and the property acquired in the year W.P.C. No. 26698 OF 2007 2 1987, it is only just and proper that 2nd and 3rd respondents would consider her request and dispose of the same in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible at any rate within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The Writ Petition is disposed of in the above terms. K.PADMANABHAN NAIR JUDGE. bkn
