The petitioner has filed this writ petition submitting that his lands were taken over for the purpose of establishing a thermal power project by the National Thermal Power Corporation. The authorities have taken possession of the land described in paragraph 4 of the writ petition. However, the petitioner has not been paid the compensation amount. I, therefore, direct that the petitioner may file a representation before the Land Acquisition Officer, Aurangabad who will examine the matter. After being satisfied the Land Acquisition Officer should pass an appropriate order on his representation within a period of four months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order for the purpose of notifying the land for acquisition. It is further made clear that the Land Acquisition Officer should issue notice to the Bhartiye Rail Bijli Company Limited as they would be a necessary party in the acquisition proceeding. 2 This writ petition is disposed of with the aforesaid observations. haque (Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
