Full Judgment
(Prayer: Appeal filed under Clause 15 of the Letters Patent against the order of this Court passed in W.P.No.1946 of 2012 dated 27.06.2012. Writ petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India praying to issue a writ of Mandamus directing the first respondent not to make payment of compensation in lieu of acquisition of land and building of the Food Corporation of India (South Zone) Employees’ Co-operative Society Limited, MSCS/CR - 23/96 situated at 114/171, Prakasam Salai, Chennai 600 106 to the third respondent his man or to any other persons till a new board of directors are elected and assume office.)
In course of arguments, we have been informed by the learned counsel appearing for the parties that the compensation amount has been deposited and subsequently, disbursed to the third respondent-society. However, the appellant is aggrieved by that portion of the order by which the learned single Judge imposed costs of Rs.10,000/- payable by the appellant to the third respondent-society. In the facts and circumstances of the case, after hearing the learned counsel appearing for the parties, we modify the order in so far as it relates to payment of costs by waiving the costs so imposed. The writ appeal is disposed of accordingly. No costs. Consequently, miscellaneous petitions are closed.
