It is the stand of the petitioners that compensation of their lands acquired by the respondents for construction of Nabinagar Thermal Power Protect by respondent no.7 has not been paid. Learned counsel for the petitioners fairly states that award in respect of the lands claimed by the petitioners was not prepared in their names. It is submitted that petitioners have already approached the Respondent-District Land Acquisition Officer for ventilation of their grievances. This Court, thus, is of the view that no case for invocation of extra-ordinary writ jurisdiction is made out. Petitioners would be at liberty to pursue their 2 representation before the said authority. It is observed that if the petitioners approach the authority with a fresh representation supported by all relevant documents together with a copy of the present order within four weeks, the said authority shall consider and dispose of the same in accordance with law within a reasonable period of time. The application stands disposed of. hr ( Kishore K. Mandal )
