CMPMO No.258 of 2008. 19.09.2008 Present: Mr.Suneet Goel, Advocate, for the petitioner. Ms.Ruma Kaushik, Additional Advocate General, for the respondents. Pursuant to an order made by the learned Additional District Judge in execution proceedings arising out of an award under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act made in favour of the petitioner herein, two directions were issued by the learned Additional District Judge on Ist December, 2004, namely:- “(1) The petitioner may apply to the Land Acquisition Collector for assessing rent or damages for use and occupation of his land by the government. Alongwith the application the petitioner shall also file a copy of this order. The Collector shall then assess rent or damage from 1.3.72 to 4.7.98 and allow interest thereon as per the Supreme Court Judgement referred to above. (2) It has been held above that net compensation payable to the petitioner as on 4.7.98 is Rs.37,469/- . Interest on this amount shall be calculated by the Land Acquisition Collector in the manner as stated in Para-13 above. The amount, if any, found due to the petitioner shall then be paid by the respondents.” The grievance of the petitioner herein is that despite these directions having been issued, the Land Acquisition Collector is not complying with these directions. CMPMO No.258 of 2008. (2) Prima facie I was of the view that contempt proceedings should have been initiated against the Collector, however, without entering into that aspect of the matter, a direction is issued to the Land Acquisition Collector, Solan, to comply with the two directions as issued within a period of eight weeks. The order passed by the learned Court is clear. It is clarified that in case no compliance is made, proceedings for Contempt of Court shall be initiated against the Collector. This petition is disposed of. Parties shall appear before the Land Acquisition Collector, Solan, on Ist November, 2008. The period of eight weeks will begin from that day. Let the records of the case be sent back immediately. Dasti copy on usual terms. September 19, 2008 (Dev Darshan Sud) (aks) Judge.
