(Oral) C.M. No.11654 of 2011 This application has been with a prayer to recall an order dated 26.7.2011, vide which CWP No.13084 of 2011 was dismissed for non- prosecution.

On request made, the same is taken up on board for disposal. CWP No.13084 of 2011 By filing this writ petition, a prayer has been made by the petitioner that directions be issued to the respondents to grant compensation to him qua the land which was acquired way back in the year 1964. We feel that at this belated stage, this prayer cannot be accepted. Civil Writ Petition No.13084 of 2011(O&M) It appears that the petitioner is trying to take benefit of the long intervening period. From the correspondence of the authorities, it is apparent that in the meantime, because of bifurcation of the districts, record might have been destroyed / misplaced. It is not expected that when land of the petitioner was acquired in the year 1964, he would keep mum for a period of more than 44 years. Application to get compensation was moved only in the year 2008. Before that, nothing was done. Dismissed. (Jasbir Singh) Judge 01.09.2011 (Augustine George Masih) gk Judge 2
