WP(C) 2067/2011 BEFORE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE AMITAVA ROY Heard Mr Sarma, learned counsel for the petitioners and Ms VL Singh, learned Sta te Counsel for the respondents. For the order proposed to be passed, it is not considered necessary to i ssue formal notice. The pleaded version of the petitioners is that, they are the joint tenu re holders of different plots of land which were acquired by the Government of Assam under the Assam State Acquisition of Zamindari Act, 1951 ( for short, here after referred to as the ’Act’) as far back as on 10.3.1964. After completion of the said exercise, the Compensation Officer, Karimganj in the corresponding com pensation cases scrutinized the claims made and drew up the final compensation statement computing the amounts payable to the various claimants including the petitioners. Inspite thereof, the amounts so earmarked having not been releas ed to them, the petitioners are before this Court seeking redress. Mr Sarma reiterating the above has drawn the attention of this Court to the final computation statement (Annexure-2 series to the writ petition) discl osing the names of the petitioners with the amount of compensation shown agains t their names. He has pointed out as well that the representation dated 10.5.201 0 addressed to the Compensation Officer, Karimganj appended to the writ petition as Annexure-3 has not yet been disposed of. Mr Sarma therefore, submits that this petition be closed with a direction to the Compensation Officer, Karimganj to dispose of the petitioners’ representation and to disburse to them the amoun ts due and payable to them as already computed. Ms Singh has no objection to the course of disposal as suggested. In the above view of the matter, this petition is closed with a directi on to the Compensation Officer, Karimganj to take a decision on the petitioners ’ representation aforementioned without undue delay and if it is found that they are entitled to the amount of compensation as due to them in law which is prim a facie established and projected by the final compensation statement (Annexure -2 series) , he would take necessary steps for release thereof. As the petition ers are waiting in expectation for over four decades, the exercise as ordered sh ould be completed within a period of two(2) weeks from the date of receipt of th e certified copy of this order. No costs.
