Mr. M. Elumalai, Learned Government Advocate takes notice for the Respondents.

Learned Government Advocate appearing for the Respondents, on instructions from the Second Respondent, states that the compensation amount of Rs.2,288/- has been kept in revenue deposit and the same has not been paid to the Petitioner. In view of the same, Learned Counsel for the Petitioner seeks permission of this Court to withdraw the Writ Petition with liberty to make necessary application under Section 24(2) of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, on the ground that acquisition has lapsed and he has made an endorsement to that effect, which is recorded.

Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed as withdrawn granting such liberty. It is made clear that no view has been expressed by this Court on the correctness or entitlement on the merits of the claim made by the petitioner. No costs.
