ORDER

By consent, this writ petition itself is taken up for final disposal.

2. Mr.M.Alagathevan, learned Special Government Pleader takes notice for the respondents.

3. The case of the petitioner is that the second respondent has acquired certain lands for the purpose of construction of a Dam across Virudhupatti Odai under Kullunsandai Reservoir Scheme, including her mother's land, namely, Kuppamal. For the said acquisition, a compensation amount was awarded. Being dissatisfied with the compensation awarded, the petitioner's mother along with other persons submitted a representation before the respondents. After the demise of her mother, the petitioner approached the authorities in this regard. In LAOP No.1 of 2014, the Trial Court in its order dated 27.02.2016, has enhanced the award amount. Subsequently, she made a representation dated 18.08.2017 before the first respondent, requesting to re-determine the amount of compensation already awarded, in the light of the award enhanced in LAOP No.1 of 2014 dated 27.02.2016. As the same is kept pending without any action, the petitioner is before this https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

Court.

4. Considering the limited scope of the relief sought for in the prayer, this Court, without going into the merits of the case, directs the respondents to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 18.08.2017 and pass appropriate orders, on its own merits and in accordance with law, after affording due opportunity of hearing to the petitioner, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
