PLEADER SHRI.P.NARAYANAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 24/05/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No. 12334 of 2010 ================== Dated this the 24th day of May, 2010 J U D G M E N T The 1st petitioner is a temple and the 2nd petitioner is the present president of the managing committee of the temple. The land comprising of the temple has been acquired by the Government under the Land Acquisition Act. The compensation for acquisition of the land was given to the owner of the land and the temple was given a compensation of Rs.3,25,000/- as value of the structures of the temple. The petitioners have been directed to remove the structures from the present position and shift the temple to some other place. The petitioners now contend that the temple has no other land for shifting the temple. But they would submit that the 4th respondent- Trust is in possession of Government land and, therefore, the 4th respondent may be directed to part with sufficient portion of Government land in their possession for shifting the temple. Seeking this direction, they have filed Ext.P2 representation before the 2nd respondent. The petitioners seek a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P2 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. 3. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass w.p.c.12334/10 2 orders on Ext.P2 after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner and the 4th respondent, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment.
