For Respondents in both WPs. :

(for R1 & R2) : Mr.D.Ravichander, Spl.G.P.

(for R3) : Mr.E.Viswaathan COMMON ORDER The grievances of the writ petitioner is that he purchased the subject property described in the writ proceedings from the 3rd respondent. It is not in dispute that the subject property was acquired by the Government by issuing notification under the Land Acquisition Act even prior to the purchase of the property by the petitioner. In other words, the petitioner purchased the property from the 3rd respondent after initiation of land acquisition proceedings and therefore, the name of the petitioner was included in the notification.

2.The learned Special Government Pleader, brought to the notice of this Court that even the reference made in LAOP No.61 of 2012 to 63 of 2012 and batch, was disposed of by the Assistant Judge, City Civil Court, Chennai, on 24.11.2015. Since the land acquisition proceedings were completed in all respects and the compensation has already been deposited before the Court, if at all any grievances exist for the petitioner, the 3/5

petitioner has to initiate appropriate action against his vendor in the manner known to law.

3.With these liberties, the writ petitions stand dismissed. No costs. (sha) 13.06.2023 Index : Yes Speaking Order To
