Dated this the 19th day of November, 2021
JUDGMENT
When these writ petitions came up for consideration, the
learned counsel appearing for the petitioners and the learned
counsel appearing for the respondents submitted that the
prayers in these writ petitions are infructuous. But the learned
counsel who appeared for the petitioners submitted that the
compensation amount is not received. The learned counsel for
the respondents submitted that there is no such prayer in
these writ petitions.
2. In such circumstances, I think these writ petitions
can be closed as infructuous granting liberty to the petitioners
to raise the question of compensation at the appropriate stage
in accordance to law.
WP(C) Nos.38563/2016, 17173, 23736,
Therefore, these writ petitions are dismissed as
infructuous with liberty to the petitioners to raise the question
of compensation before the appropriate authorities in
accordance to law.
