The lands of the petitioner were acquired. There is no dispute on that aspect. He contends that he was additionally engaged on daily wages Choukidar at the Larma Pump House under the control of Jamania Pump Nahar Division Ramgarh. He has not yet been paid daily wages after 01.08.1997. Certain payments have been made to him recently in 2006, inadequate. The respondents in their counter affidavit contend that the petitioner is not working on daily wages since he was never engaged after 31.08.1997. It thus becomes a disputed question whether he has worked after that date. Needless to state that wage of a daily wager is required to be paid. No documentary evidence has been placed before this Court for adjudicating the disputed question of fact whether he has been duty after 31.08.1997 or not. The Court finds it difficult to grant any relief. In that view of the matter leave is sought to withdraw the 2 application to pursue departmental remedies before the authority themselves. The application stands dismissed as withdrawn. Devendra ( Navin Sinha,J.)
