SRI.P.A.AHAMED, SC, TECHNOPARK THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 16/09/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C.) No.27710 of 2010 (K) --------------------------------- Dated, this the 16th day of September, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioners are two of the claimants in LAR No.67/2006. 2. According to the petitioners, the LAR is in respect of 21 cents of land comprised in R.S.No.191/14 of Attipra Village in Thiruvananthapuram District. It is stated that in the LAR, certain other claimants are also parties. According to them, they and the 2nd respondent were willing to settle the matter. It is stated that though the matter was referred to the Lok Adalat on two occasions, on account of the absence of the other claimants, the matter is not settled. It is in these circumstances, this writ petition has been filed. 3. Learned counsel appearing for the 2nd respondent, the requisitioning authority, also endorses the submission made by the learned counsel for the petitioners and reiterates their willingness to settle the claim of the petitioners. 4. Now that both parties are willing for settlement of the WP(C) No.27710/2010 -2- matter accepting their share of the award passed by the Reference Court, in my view, there is no reason why the matter shall not be settled, which at any rate, cannot be to the prejudice of the absent claimants. Therefore, I direct that if the petitioners and 2nd respondent are willing to settle the matter amicably, that will be allowed. This writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
