K.PADMANABHAN NAIR, J. ------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.28925 of 2007 ------------------------------- Dated this the 4th January, 2008. J U D G M E N T This writ petition is filed by the tenants of a building. The tenants have no right to challenge the acquisition proceedings. Hence, I do not find any reason to grant any relief to the petitioners. But considering the fact that the petitioners are doing business, they are given time up to 31.1.2008 to vacate the premises. It is made clear that no further extension of time will be granted thereafter. The writ petition is closed with the above observation. K.PADMANABHAN NAIR, JUDGE nj.
