ORDER

This writ petition has been filed for direction directing

the respondents to pay compensation together with interest from

the date of acquisition for acquisition of lands belonging to

the petitioner in Plot No.59, comprised in S.Nos.257/12, 257/1,

2. Though the petitioner claims compensation for the Plot

No.59, comprised in S.Nos.257/12, 257/1 situated at

Sriperumbudur Village, Kancheepuram District of an extent of

7200 sq.ft., the petitioner did not even whisper about the

acquisition proceedings and on what date the land was acquired

and by whom. That apart, the petitioner has caused only legal

notice, that too on 11.12.2019 seeking compensation. Therefore,

the direction sought for in this writ petition cannot be

considered and the writ petition is devoid of merits.

3. Accordingly, this writ petition is dismissed. However,

the petitioner is at liberty to make a fresh representation

before the second respondent with all necessary particulars

about the acquisition of the subject land. No order as to costs.
