Leaned counsel appearing on behalf of the Patna Municipal Corporation has been heard.

From the averments made in paragraph-4 of the counter-affidavit filed on behalf of respondent District Magistrate, Patna, it appears that the land in question has been acquired by initiating a Land Acquisition Case No. 2 of 1985-86. A notification under sections 4 and 6 of 2 The Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (hereinafter referred to as ―the Act‖) was issued and subsequently award was prepared on 28.11.1985 in the name of the petitioner with respect to the land in question. However, it appears that the petitioner has not received the award amount. In the aforesaid facts and circumstances, no useful purpose will be served by keeping the matter any longer pending before this Court. The petitioner, if at all aggrieved by the acquisition of the land belonging to him under the provisions of the Act, then he may seek appropriate remedy available to him under the law. With the aforesaid observation/direction, the present writ petition stands disposed of. BTiwary/ (Birendra Prasad Verma, J.)
