O R D E R This writ petition was filed for a Mandamus, to direct the first respondent to disburse the compensation amount to the petitioner as per their valuation dated 11.06.2014 by considering his representation dated 10.07.2014.

2.The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the first respondent Board has cut down the trees planted in the petitioner's land in Survey No.281 and 282/2. The second respondent is none other than the brother of the petitioner's father. Since there is a dispute over the title of the subject land between the petitioner and the second respondent, the second respondent objected for granting the compensation to the petitioner.

3.The learned Standing Counsel appearing for the first respondent submits that the first respondent has calculated the quantum of compensation amount as Rs.4,92,000/- and the same has also been communicated to the petitioner as well as to the second respondent.

4.This Court considered the rival submissions made and also perused the materials placed on record.
