A land acquisition proceeding was initiated against the petitioners’ father Ram Swarup Mistry. In the said proceeding a reference was made on objection filed by one Munshi Mahto. The Land Acquisition Judge, Gaya passed the following orders in Land Acquisition Case No. 146/1981 : “In view of the above, it is hereby ordered that the reference under section 10 (sic) of the Act is dismissed but the application of Ram Swaroop Mistry for payment of the entire amount of the award under section 30 of the land Acquisition Act is hereby allowed.” The aforesaid order was passed on 6.8.1982.
