IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.15007 of 2007 Devi Lal Yadav Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors ----------- 2 26.7.2011 The petitioner’s land was acquired for construction of a Dam on Surshar Dhar in the year 1992. He got a compensation amount for acquisition of his land. The petitioner submits that though he had got compensation amount for the land, no compensation was provided for the trees which were standing on that land and were uprooted in course of construction of a Dam. The petitioner filed the writ petition for due compensation for the loss of trees and appropriate interest on the same. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that Special Land Acquisition Officer, Saharsa made recommendation to the Additional Secretary, Department of Water Resources for payment of compensation for the destruction/loss of the standing trees. The petitioner fairly submits that during the pendency of this writ petition, he got the compensation amount for loss of the trees on 12.9.2008 but did not get the requisite interest on it from 1.11.1995 (the date of damage) to 11.9.2008 (the date of payment). It would be open for the petitioner to represent to the Collector, Supaul for payment of interest. With the aforesaid observations and directions, this writ petition stands disposed of. KHAN (S.P. Singh,J)
