THE DISTRICT MAGISTRATE, MUZAFFARPUR, DISTRICT MUZAFFARPUR. 4. THE INCHARGE DEPUTY COLLECTOR, LAND ACQUISITION SECTION, MUZAFFARPUR, DISTRICT MUZAFFARPUR. 5. THE DISTRICT CIRCLE OFFICER, SAHEBGANJ, DISTRICT MUZAFFARPUR. ----------- 08. 09.02.2010 In compliance of my order dated 2.2.2010, the Collector Incharge, Muzaffarpur is present. He states that in compliance of the orders of this Court dated 12.3.2007 passed in C.W.J.C. No.12465 of 2006, Annexure-5 the authorities have revised the amount of the award, which is to be paid to the petitioners for acquisition of their lands for the purposes of laying the road and the cheque is ready but in spite of service of notice on the petitioners they are not coming forward to receive the cheque. 2. Counsel for the petitioners states that the petitioners are not accepting the cheque as their objection not to acquire the land and to acquire other land for laying the road has not been considered. I am unable to consider such submission as the aforesaid submission was noticed by this Court under orders dated 12.3.2007 and rejected directing the administration to proceed with the acquisition revising the amount of compensation. 3. Having heard counsel for the petitioners, State as also the Collector Incharge, Muzaffarpur, I direct the petitioners to appear before the Collector Incharge within two weeks from today along with - 2 - the documents to establish their title over the lands in question and in appreciation of the documents produced by the petitioners the Collector Incharge shall ensure handing over the cheque to the petitioners. In case, the Collector Incharge is not satisfied about the document of title then he shall pass reasoned order indicating as to why payments are not being made to the petitioners within one week of their appearance. 4. With the directions aforesaid this writ application is disposed of. Rajesh/ (V.N.Sinha, J.)
