After more than 40 years of acquisition, this Court is not inclined to go into the question whether the petitioner is entitled for any amount of compensation or not. Delay in approaching this Court has also not all been explained

However, the petitioner shall be at liberty to approach the authorities and, if he does so, the authorities may examine the petitioner's claim as to whether the amount of compensation was paid or not.

This writ application is disposed of.
