THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 29/01/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No.2994 OF 2009 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 29th day of January, 2009 JUDGMENT Certain properties are proposed to be acquired for an Integrated Industrial Township and Industrial Development Zone by the District Collector, Palakkad. According to the petitioner, as is clear from Ext.P2 communication, solid rock area, coconut groves, mango groves, temple, church, burial ground, factory building, schools, etc., are excluded from the purview of such proposed acquisition. The petitioner now submits that although certain lands belonging to the petitioner are coconut groves, which are comprised in Re-Survey Nos.519, 523/1 and 524 of Pudussery East Village, the same have been mistakenly included in the proposal for acquisition. Against the same, the petitioner has filed Ext.P3 representation before the 2nd respondent – District Collector. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on the same expeditiously. W.P.(c)No.2994/09 2 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. 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 orders on Ext.P3 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner and the 1st respondent. The petitioner shall forward a certified copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition to the 2nd respondent for compliance. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd W.P.(c)No.2994/09 3
