(The case has been heard through video conference) The Writ Petition has been filed seeking a direction directing the 3rd respondent to dispose of the petitioner's representation dated 26.12.2018 regarding payment of compensation.
2. The grievance of the petitioner is that, the petitioner's land sought to be acquired, wherein he is running a school, and he sought for compensation for the land and superstructure. But, so far, the compensation was not paid to him. Hence, he has made a representation to the authorities, that was not considered. Therefore, the present Writ Petition has been filed by the petitioner.
3. Today, when the matter taken up for hearing, Mr.Yogesh Kannadasan, learned Government Advocate appearing for respondents 2 to 4, on instructions, would submit that, already the award has been passed by the acquisition officer. Since there is a dispute between brothers regarding apportionment, the award has been deposited before the Principal District Court, Cuddalore.
4. Considering the facts and circumstances, as the award has been already passed and the amount has been deposited before the Principal District Court, Cuddalore on 13.07.2021, the petitioner is directed to approach the civil court to get the compensation. Accordingly, this Writ Petition stands closed. No costs.
