THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 06/04/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. -------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) NO.9108 OF 2010 (K) -------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 6th day of April, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner submits that an extent of 10.12 ares of property situated in Sy.No.2848/2 of Kadakampally village was acquired for the development of tourism. It is stated that the compensation awarded was redetermined and he is entitled to total compensation of Rs.12,30,345/-. It is stated that by Ext.P5 order passed by the 2nd respondent, first respondent was directed to draw and deposit the amount for disbursement by the Land Acquisition Officer. Complaint is that despite the fact that Ext.P5 has been issued as early as on 18.1.2010, the first respondent has not taken any action to draw the amount or make available the same before the Land Acquisition Officer. It is with this grievance that this writ petition is filed. 2. If as stated by the petitioner, Ext.P5 order has been issued and the order still remains in force, there is no reason for the first respondent should not act in terms thereof. Therefore, I dispose of this writ petition directing the first respondent to act in terms of Ext.P5 order referred to above, if the WPC.No. 9108/2010 :2 : said order is still in force. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible an at any rate within 2 weeks from the date of production of a copy of the judgment. Needless to say that once Ext.P5 is complied with, the amount as admissible will be disbursed. (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/
