Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners contended that without following due process of law under Sections 146 and 147 of the Act, the respondents are trying to demolish the building of the petitioner and hence, he prays to allow the writ petition. 3. On the other hand, learned standing counsel for the respondents contended that the property in question was acquired by the Municipality and an award was passed on 02-02-2011, that as no persons claimed compensation, the amount has been deposited into Civil Court, that if there is any dispute with regard to title of the property, the same has to be determined by the competent Civil Court under Section 30 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. 4. For the self same relief, the petitioner filed Writ Petition 22803 of 2011 and this Court vide order, dated 17-10-2011 directed the petitioners to participate in the proceedings before the civil Court and claim compensation. In view of the fact that award was already passed, question of following due process of law in acquiring the land does not arise. The award is not under challenge. The remedies of the petitioners, if any, have to be worked out before a competent civil Court where compensation amount has been deposited. Therefore, the writ petition is devoid of merit and is liable to be dismissed. 5. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. --------------------- K.C.BHANU, J DATED: 25-11-2011 Hsd
