Dubey, A.C. to A.G.G. 4 For the B.R.B.C.L. : Mr. Anil Kumar Sinha, Advocate ………………… 2 18.10.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, the State and respondent no.6. Petitioner claims to be land-holder of Plot No.388 appertaining to Khata No. 2 of Village- Piraunta, P.S. Nabinagar and District Aurangabad. It is contended that the land was acquired by respondent no.6 for construction of National Thermal Power Project at Nabinagar, Aurangabad. However, neither any notice was issued to the petitioner nor has compensation amount been paid 2 to him. It has been stated that a representation has been filed before respondent no.2, i.e., the District Magistrate, Aurangabad, but no action has been taken by him. However, the aforesaid representation appears to be a cryptic one as neither details of the land acquired is reflected therein nor had any document in support of the petitioner’s claim been appended along with that. Learned counsel for the State as well as respondent no.6 do not have any objection if a fresh representation filed on behalf of the petitioner is directed to be disposed of by the concerned authority. In above view of the matter, this writ application is being disposed of with a liberty to the petitioner to file a proper representation before respondent no.3, i.e., the District Land Acquisition Officer, Aurangabad within four weeks. In case such representation is filed by the petitioner along with a certified copy of this order then let the respondent no.3 consider and dispose of the same by a reasoned order on its own merit and in accordance with law within three months thereafter. 3 It is made clear that this order has been passed without going into the merit of the case of the petitioner.
