                      Dated this the 3rd day of January, 2022


                                   JUDGMENT

The above writ petition is filed with following prayers :

"1. Issue an appropriate writ, order or direction prohibiting the respondents from interfering with the peaceful possession and enjoyment of by the petitioner of his property having an extent of 0.014 h of land in T.S.No.14-5-239 in Nagaram amsom and desom of Kozhikode taluk with buildings having assessment numbers 14/139, 14/140 and 14/141 and mentioned in exhibit P3 otherwise than an in accordance with law.

2. To pass such other order or orders for which the petitioner may pray for and this honourable court deem fit to grant"

2. The deceased 1st petitioner is the absolute owner of a

property having an extent of 0.014 hectares of land in T.S.No.14-5-

239 in Nagaram amsom and desom of Kozhikode Taluk with

buildings in it having assessment Nos. 14/139, 14/140 and 14/141.

It was the case of the deceased 1 st petitioner in the writ petition

that, for the purpose of constructing a road, the respondents are

compelling the petitioner to demolish the buildings situated in it.

Hence, this writ petition is filed.

3. Heard the learned counsel for the 2nd petitioner and the

learned Government Pleader.

4. When this writ petition came up for consideration on

26.2.2013, this Court recorded the following submission of the

petitioner.

"The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that in the course of the proceedings, the property of the petitioner has already been taken over and a road has been constructed therein. The remaining grievance is only in respect of non-disbursement of compensation , which has been agreed, as borne by Ext.P3. The learned Government Pleader seeks for time to get instruction and to file a statement. In the said circumstance, the matter is admitted.

Issue urgent notice by speed post to the respondents 1 and 2, returnable within two weeks."

5. The grievance of the 2nd petitioner now is that the

compensation is not paid for the land taken from the 1 st petitioner.

If that is the grievance, the 2 nd petitioner is free to approach the 1 st

respondent with a representation and the 1 st respondent can be

directed to consider the same, after giving an opportunity of

hearing to the 2nd petitioner.

Therefore, this writ petition is disposed in the following

manner :

1) The 2nd petitioner is free to approach the 1 st respondent

with a representation narrating his grievance and

claiming compensation for the land surrendered within

one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this

judgment.

2) Once such a representation is received, the 1 st

respondent will consider the same and pass appropriate

orders in it, after giving an opportunity of hearing to the

2nd petitioner, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate,

within 4 months from the date of receipt of a copy of the

representation.
