C.T.RAVIKUMAR, J. --------------------------------------- W.P(C)No.31548 of 2010 ---------------------------------------- Dated 10th November, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner was the petitioner in O.P.(ELE.)No.381 of 2002 on the file of the Additional District Court (Adhoc-II), Ernakulam. The said petition was filed under Sections 10 and 16 of the Indian Telegraph Act for compensation for the damage sustained on account of the drawal of electric line through the property of the petitioner. Ext.P1 is the order passed thereon as early as on 23.12.2005. This writ petition has been filed with a prayer to issue a writ of mandamus commanding the respondent to deposit the compensation amount ordered as per Ext.P1 with interest. When this matter is taken up today, the learned standing counsel for the respondent made available a copy of order, viz., B.O.M (T&D) No.2857/2010(LB.II/94/2003) dated 4.11.2010. It would reveal that sanction has been accorded for the deposit of the compensation amount before the District Court, Ernakulam in compliance with the order in Ext.P1. Since the respondent has already taken steps for depositing the amount in terms of Ext.P1, no further orders are necessary in this writ petition and practically this writ petition does not survive for further consideration. However, since the respondent has already taken steps as per order WP(C).No.31548/2010 2 dated 4.11.2010, the amount covered as per Ext.P1 shall be deposited expeditiously, at any rate within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. C.T.RAVIKUMAR Judge TKS
