Chanu Devi Chowdhury @ Chado Devi Chowdhury And ANR. v. State Of West Bengal And ORS.

WPA 21459 OF 2023 19.01.2024 Sl no. 28 Chanu Devi Chowdhury @ Chado Devi Chowdhury & Anr.

Ct no. 2 - Vs - P.M.

The State of West Bengal & Ors.

Mr. Nikhil Kr. Gupta ... for the petitioner Mr. Somnath Ganguli, Ld. AGP Mr. Sukalpa Seal ... for the State Heard learned advocates appearing for the parties.

Petitioner has filed this writ petition making claim for compensation in respect of her house damaged in the cyclone.

Learned advocate appearing for the State respondent submits that after filing the writ petition, petitioner has already been granted compensation and he files copy of the relevant documents to this effect which may be kept with the record.

This Court in exercise of constitutional writ jurisdiction cannot act as compensation determining authority or a compensation quantification authority. In the facts and circumstances of this case I am of the view that there is no merit in this writ petition being WPA 21459 of 2023 and accordingly the same is dismissed.
