IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA FA No.349 of 1996 STATE OF BIHAR Versus BAL RAM KUWAR SINHA & ORS ----------- 20. 23.06.2011 Heard Sri Subodh Kumar Baranwal, the learned AC to GP – 3 in connection with office note dated 13.5.2011. According to the office this first appeal has already abated as against the heirs of the respondent Nos. 1, 2 and 4 for non compliance of order No.16 dated 15.5.2007. It appears that the respondent Nos. 1, 2 and 4 were the land holders whose lands were acquired by the State of Bihar. On the objection filed under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act the Land Acquisition Officer referred the case under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act to the Land Acquisition Judge and by the impugned judgment and award the Land Acquisition Judge has enhanced the compensation. In such view of the matter, in absence of the legal representatives of the deceased land holders this appeal cannot proceed. Accordingly, it is held that this appeal is incompetent and as such is dismissed as abated as a whole. S.S. (Mungeshwar Sahoo,J.)
