A part of that is proposed to be acquired for the purpose of a transformer of the Kerala State Electricity Board. The TRIDA makes the acquisition. TRIDA states through counsel that it would have no objection in granting the request of the petitioner for shifting the site and accepting an alternate site as offered by the petitioner, if the KSEB and the Kerala Road Fund Board, which are involved in preparing the alignment, have no objection. The learned counsel for the KSEB states that it is yet to know from TRIDA about the acquisition. Therefore, it is ordered that on the petitioner making appropriate representation, the KSEB in consultation with Kerala Road Fund Board will intimate TRIDA about its view, at the earliest, without any delay. The Writ Petition is ordered accordingly. THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHANAN, JUDGE ps
