¶16

Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Advocate for the respondents as well as perused the material available on records.

¶17

Having considered the facts and circumstances of the case and submissions of the learned counsel for both sides, it is seen that the petitioner has appointed one of her sons by name A. Karthikeyan as her General Power of Attorney on 20.05.2008. On the strength of Power of Attorney, the petitioner's son has received enhanced compensation of Rs.16747,679/-, Rs.78,199/- and 70,451/- for the land acquisition under all the three awards passed by the 1st respondent dated 27.06.2008, 28.11.2008 and 16.12.2010. While being so, the petitioner has now sought to pay the enhanced compensation amount awarded in her favour claiming that the petitioner's son is only representing as Power Agent. Under such circumstances, this Court cannot direct the respondents to pay the enhanced amount to the petitioner while the enhanced award amount was deposited in favour of the petitioner's son as Power Agent of the petitioner herein. Though the Writ petition is not maintainable, this Court directs the petitioner who is at liberty to approach the competent Court-Principal District Court, Salem to seek her remedy by filing LAOP whereby the relief sought by the petitioner herein will be worked out.

¶18

With the aforesaid directions, the present Writ petition is disposed of. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed if any. No costs.
