Ashok Singh, Contractor son of not known, Village- Baikhampur P.S. Sadar, Distt. Muzaffarpur. …. …. Respondents ----------- 2. 9.10.2009. Heard counsel for the parties. The dispute now narrows down to the basic fact that the petitioner, who claims herself to be the owner having right, title and interest over Plot No.623 having an area of 10 decimals is entitled to payment of compensation in the light of erection of a transmission tower on the piece and parcel of land by the respondent authorities. The petitioner does not dispute the legal and statutory provisions on the question of the right of the respondents to set-up such a transmission line but she states that she is entitled to compensation for dispossession from the land in question. The question of compensation has to be looked into by the concerned authorities. The occasion for the same has not arisen as yet for this Court to go into that aspect of the matter. The writ application is disposed of with liberty to the - 2 - petitioner that she may lodge her claim with the supporting material for payment of compensation. If her claim is found to be in order then needless to say that consequences will flow in favour of the petitioner. An early decision would be required in the matter. This writ application stands disposed of with above direction. Pawan/- (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
