The learned counsel for the revision petitioner submits that as on date the claimant No.55 is aged about 72 years and based on the sale deed executed by the court in OS No.22 of 1985, he became the absolute owner of 35 cents with specific four boundaries which is under the acquisition proceedings in LAOP No.3 of 2007 and as on date he is entitled to get the award amount based on the said sale deed which was confirmed upto Hon'ble Apex Court proceedings. Till date the sale deed was not set aside. Since he is aged about 72 years he wants to split up the proceedings and dispose of the case.

The learned Government Advocate for the respondent submits that there are 55 claimants covering an extent of 27 acres. Admittedly, the acquisition proceedings were initiated in the year 2007. Therefore for each one of the claimants, the proceedings cannot be split up. Therefore, he raised https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRP No. 6367 of 2025 __________ Page3 of 4 objections. 5. Considering the submissions, the fact reveals that as on date the revision petitioner is aged about 72 years and facing the proceedings f rom the year 2007. As per the sale deed dated 27.12.2011, he is the absolute owner of 2 acres, in which 35 cents are under acquisition. Now he is facing land acquisition proceedings in LAOP No.3 of 2007. Therefore, in respect of 35 cents, he is the absolute owner and considering his age, the trial court is directed to split up the proceedings and pass appropriate orders in the manner known to law. 6.
