SUBHANDRA DEVI W/O SRI SURESH PRASAD SINGH R/O JAHANPUR, P.S. & POST- DHANARUA, DISTT.- PATNA ----------- For the petitioner……………….. Mr. S. k. Bharti. Adv Mr. MD. Faiyaz Alam. Adv For the State…………… Mr. Rabindra Kr. Prydarshani. Adv. Respondent No. 4 ………..Mr. S.N. Roy Sr. Adv. 3 10.12.2010 Heard both sides. Petitioner claims certain lands which were acquired by reason of proceedings vide Land Acquisition Case No. LA. 11/08-09. At the time of taking possession, it appears, certain percentage of award money was paid to him conditionally. Subsequently, an objection was filed on behalf of private respondent no.4, claiming title/interest in the acquired land for which part of compensation was paid to the writ petitioner. By reason of the impugned notice dated 03.07.2010, both of them have been called upon to produce their documents of title/possession respecting the land enabling the authority to disburse amount of compensation to the rightful owner of the land. Instead of approaching the authority (respondent no. 3) in the light of notice, the petitioner has rushed to this Court. Learned counsel for 2 the State submits that pursuant to the impugned notice respondent no. 4 has already appeared and led claim respecting the lands in question. It is stated that the matter is pending as the writ petitioner has not filed his response pursuant to the impugned notice. In that view of the matter, this Court observes that petitioner should file his response to the notice (Annexure-1) within six weeks from today along with copy of present order. The matter shall thereafter, be considered and disposed of by the respondent no. 3, in accordance with law. The application is disposed of. Amrendra/ (K.K. Mandal, J.)
