PRAYER: Writ Petition is filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India for the issue of a Writ of Mandamus to direct the first respondent to decide the Appeal Petition dated 28.02.2013 to enhance the compensation in terms of Section 3G(5),(6) of the National Highways Act, 1956 within the stipulated time.

ORDER
Mr.S.Kumar, learned Additional Government Pleader takes notice for the respondents.
2. The petitioner seeks for a Mandamus directing the first respondent to decide the appeal petition dated 28.02.2013 filed for enhancement of compensation payable under the National Highways Act, 1956. It is seen that the property belonging to the petitioner Company was acquired under the National Highways Act and the compensation arrived at by the second respondent payable to the petitioner was not accepted by the petitioner and therefore he filed an appeal before the first respondent claiming enhancement of compensation through appeal petition dated 28.02.2013. The grievance of the petitioner is that the said appeal is yet to be disposed of.
3. Considering the above stated facts and circumstances and without expressing any view on the claim made by the petitioner seeking enhancement of compensation, I only direct the first respondent to consider the appeal filed by the petitioner and pass orders on the same https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/
on merits and in accordance with law within a period of twelve weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
4. With the above direction this Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs.
