No.814 of 2010 (B) --------------------------------- Dated, this the 8th day of February, 2010 J U D G M E N T Grievance of the petitioner is that although an extent of 0.85 ares of his land was acquired and compensation was fixed for the entire property, compensation for 0.22 ares is not disbursed. Therefore, seeking a direction to the respondents to disburse the entire compensation, this writ petition has been filed. 2. The learned Government Pleader, on instructions, submits that compensation for 0.22 ares of land acquired was not disbursed for the reason that the petitioner could not prove his title in respect of the land. If that be the case, necessarily it is for the respondents to take action under Section 31 of the Land Acquisition Act, which the respondents shall do as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within four weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. This writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
