For the Board : Mr. Ram Kishore Singh, Adv. For the State : Piyush Lall, Asstt. Counsel to AAG-I ----------- 3. 03-11-2011 Heard learned counsel for the appellant and learned counsel for the Bihar State Housing Board. The appellant preferred writ petition bearing C.W.J.C. No. 14074/2001 claiming right to get compensation for acquisition of a land which the appellant claims to have purchased from the original Raiyat in the year 1994. From the 2 order of the Writ Court it is clear that the State produced copy of award dated 12.2.1985 contained in Annexure-A to Supplementary counter affidavit. Thus it was clear to the Writ Court that the land in question had already been acquired by the State, many years before alleged purchase by the appellant. Before us learned counsel for the appellant has raised a grievance that compensation for the acquired land has not been paid to the appellant or to the original Raiyat but it was paid to persons arrayed as respondent Nos. 11 to 14 who are not related to the land in question. In our considered view once the award was passed by the Collector under Section 11 of the Land Acquisition Act, the concerned raiyat had no title left in him to transfer the land to the appellant or others in the year 1994. The grievance in respect of non-payment of compensation or the award money may legitimately be raised only by the original Raiyat who is not a party to the present proceeding. We find no merit in this appeal. It is, accordingly, dismissed. Mkc/ (Shiva Kirti Singh, J.) (Shivaji Pandey, J.)
