The scrutiny of documents as a prelude for execution of the sale deeds by the petitioner is underway. In view of the above stand taken by the Government, it is not necessary to grant the reliefs sought for in the Writ Petition. If the documents submitted by the petitioner are found to be in order, it will be ensured that the sale deeds are executed by the petitioner and the petitioner gets the compensation as per the DLPC rates. It is made clear that this judgment will not stand in the way of the Government conferring any other benefits to the petitioner if similar benefits have been extended to others who have accepted the DLPC rates and executed sale deeds in favour of the Government. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. srd PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE W.P.C.No. - 2 -
