The State Of Bihar 2. The District Magistrate, Lakhisarai 3. The D.D.C., Zila Parishad, Lakhisarai 4. The Executive Engineer, Minor Irrigation Division at Sikandara, District – Lakhisarai ……. ….. Respondents ----------- For the petitioner: Mr. Ashok Kumar No.1, Advocate For the respondents: Mr. Ram Chandra Pd. Bharti, SC XIV Mr. Ajay Kumar, AC to SC-XIV 4 19/8/2009 Heard Mr. Ashok Kumkar, counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Ram Chandra Pd. Bharti, counsel for the respondents. The grievance of the present petitioner is that a road is being constructed by using the private land of several persons of the concerned villages. Though the petitioner states that the concerned villagers have no objection in construction of the road in question but since their land is being used they should be paid compensation under the provision of the Land Acquisition Act. Without expressing any opinion on the merit of the contentions raised, we call upon the District 2 Magistrate, Lakhisarai to look into the matter and, if, in fact, any private land is being used for construction of the road, appropriate steps for payment of compensation in accordance with law as provided under the Land Acquisition Act should be taken. The petition is, accordingly, disposed of. Neyaz/ (P.K. Misra, CJ.) (Shiva Kirti Singh, J.)
