2.The controversy has now come to a finality, as the District Collector, Coimbatore has quantified the amount of compensation payable in respect of damages caused to the petitioner's immovable property, based on the land holding

of each of the petitioners, by proceedings No. e/f/27472/2012/C1 dated 28.07.2016.

¶14

3.Though from the copy of the proceedings which has been produced before this Court that it has been forwarded to the Superintending Engineer/Civil/Project/TANGEDCO, EVN Road, Erode-9, the learned Senior Counsel appearing for the TANGEDCO submits that till date their Officers have not received the copy of the said communication.

pay the amount as quantified by the District Collector in his proceedings dated 28.07.2016, through Banking Channel. This Court is of the fond hope that the matter will not be once again mentioned before this Court and this order should put rest of the dispute between the parties.
