ORDER

¶17

This Writ Petition has been filed seeking a direction to the respondents to pay compensation for the lands acquired by the respondents.

¶18

According to the petitioners, the petitioners' lands in Survey No.16/1 and 3 (part) of Vijayanallur Village, Ponneri Taluk, Chengalpet District have been acquired by the respondents for formation of outer ring road. Even though the acquisition proceedings were initiated in the year 2006, so far, no award has been passed, and the notice under Sec. 12(2) of the Tamil Nadu Land Acquisition Act (hereinafter called as 'Act') was also not served on the petitioners. Hence, the present Writ Petition has been filed by the petitioners.

¶19

Mr.C.Thirumaran, learned Special Government Pleader appearing for the respondents, on instructions, submitted that already the award has been passed on 18.04.2007, and the notices under Sec.12(2) of the Act were also sent to the petitioners through R.P.A.D., but the notices could not be served. Now, the entire amount is in the revenue deposit, and the petitioners can very well approach the 1^st respondent, and produce necessary documents to establish their title and they can receive the compensation.

¶20

Considering the above submissions, as the award already has been passed, and the amount has been already kept in the revenue deposit, it is always open to the petitioner to approach the 1^st respondent, and establish their title, and after establishing their title, the petitioners can receive the compensation. If the petitioners have any grievance over the same, it is always open to them to seek any reference in the manner known to law. In the result, the present Writ Petition stands disposed of with the above direction. No costs.
