UNNI KRISHNAN NAIR ORDER Date : 04.08.2025 None appears for the petitioners even on second call. Accordingly, Mr. N. Upadhyay, learned counsel for the respondents is present. 2. Mr. N. Upadhyay, learned counsel, on instruction submits that the land in question was not acquired by the departmental authorities but was donated by the petitioner in WP(C).No.5731/2018, for the purpose of a setting up of a pump house and as well as for link irrigation cannel over the said land. 3. He submits that the petitioner in WP(C).No.5731/2018, having donated the land, he would not be entitled to claim compensation for any loss purportedly occasioning on account of setting up of the pump house and link irrigation cannel over his land, inasmuch as, the same upon such donation being made, he cannot be deemed to be the owner of the said land. 4. In so far as the petitioner in WP(C).No.5665/2018, is concerned, Mr. N. Upadhyay, learned counsel, has contended that the said petitioner was never appointed as a pump house operator and accordingly, his claim for being released arrear salaries could not mandate acceptance. 5. Mr. N. Upadhyay, learned counsel, has further submitted that the petitioner in WP(C).No.5665/2018, was never released any wages for working as a pump house operator by the departmental authorities inasmuch as no records in this connection is available with the respondents. 6. In view of the above submissions, it is clear that the petitioners have failed to make out a prima facie case requiring the interference of this Court in the matter. However, as there is no representation on behalf of the petitioners, this Court Page No.# 4/4 proceeds to dismiss the above noted writ petitions for non-prosecution. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
