2.Learned counsel for the petitioners would submit that the petitioners land were acquired for the development of SIPCOT Sripermbathur Expansion Scheme – II. Though the petitioner objected the acquisition, a call letter has been sent by the 3rd respondent for the acquisition of the petitioners land and also to get compensation. Subsequently an enquiry has also been conducted. While the petitioners were fighting for compensation, the SIPCOT has fixed the stones for a portion of property required by them and a portion of property is left over without being used. Therefore, the petitioners made their representations dated 09.12.2022, requesting the 1st respondent to direct the land acquisition officer to measure the petitioners' properties and to release the unused property to the petitioners. Since the same was not considered, the present writ petition has been filed.
