CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA. HON'BLE MS. JUSTICE NIRMALJIT KAUR. PRESENT: MR. RAJIV KATARIA,, ADVOCATE FOR THE APPELLANTS. ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA, J.(ORAL) The challenge in the Letters Patent Appeal is the order dated March 17, 2009, vide which the prayer of the appellants for staying the disbursement of compensation to the shareholders of the land acquired has been rejected during the pendency of the writ petition. The appellants claim that as deficiency after the consolidation has not been fully made up by the State, therefore, as long as the matter is not finally decided, no compensation be disbursed to any of the shareholders. Learned Single Judge vide the impugned order has dismissed the prayer of the appellants. After hearing the learned counsel for the appellants, we are of the considered opinion that as the rights of the appellants are yet to be determined, therefore, they cannot claim stay of disbursement of compensation. We find no merit in this Letters Patent Appeal which is against the interim orders and the same is dismissed. (ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA) JUDGE April 23, 2009 (NIRMALJIT KAUR) Gulati JUDGE
