I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned counsel appearing for the first respondent. In the counter-affidavit filed on behalf of the first respondent it is stated that as per the revenue records the petitioner is not the owner of the said land and therefore, he is not entitled to any compensation. It is also stated that as a matter of fact, letters, dated 17.01.2006, 11.02.2006 and 16.03.2006 were addressed to the petitioner with a request to produce the relevant documents for confirmation of his title in respect of the land in question, however, there was no response from the petitioner. The version of the respondents that in spite of issuance of notices the petitioner failed to respond has been disputed by the learned counsel for the petitioner, and it is stated that no such notices have ever been served on the petitioner. However, the learned counsel for the petitioner across the Bar submitted that if a further opportunity is given, the petitioner is ready and willing to appear before the first respondent and produce all the necessary documents to substantiate his title. Having regard to the facts and circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of granting liberty to the petitioner to appear before the first respondent and produce all the relevant material, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, in which event, the first respondent shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. No costs. ___________ G.ROHINI, J Date: 19.06.2007 va
