THE DISTRICT LAND ACQUISITION OFFICER, GAYA. ………….Respondents ----------- 02 12.01.2011 Both parties present. Petitioners are aggrieved by order dated 11.12.2009, passed by the respondent-District Magistrate, in pursuance of order dated 31.07.2009, passed by a Bench of this Court on their previous writ application in C.W.J.C. No. 9059 of 2009 (Annexure-3). The order dated 31.07.2009, reads as under:- “Counsel for the State is present. No body appears for the petitioners. A land acquisition proceeding was initiated against the petitioner’s 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 (sio) 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. The petitioners claim to be son of Ram Swarup Mistry and have categorically stated that they have not yet received the award amount. I accordingly direct that the petitioners should file an application before the Collector of the district within two months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order and the Collector will examine the petitioners’ claim and pass appropriate order within a period of six months thereafter. This writ petition is accordingly disposed of.” An application was preferred for reference, which was considered and disposed of. Operative portion of the said order has been taken note of in the order 31.07.2009. The respondent-District Magistrate has considered the case of the petitioners and rejected to review the award fixed by the Land Acquisition Judge, in case No. 146/1981 vide order dated 06.08.1982. In my view, respondent-District Magistrate has not committed any illegality in the attending facts of the case. This application has no merit which is accordingly dismissed. Safik ( Kishore K.
