THE CIRCLE OFFICER, BAIRGANIA, SITAMARHI ----- RESPONDENTS. ----------- 2 8.10.2010 The petitioners claim that the amount of compensation paid to them in Land Acquisition Proceeding No. 6 of 2007-08 is much below the actual value of the land. The petitioners, therefore, filed objection when they received the award amount claiming that the matter should be referred under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act to the Civil Court. The Collector and the Land Acquisition Officer, Sitamarhi have not passed any order on the objection filed on behalf of the petitioners. I, accordingly direct the District Magistrate, Sitamarhi/Land Acquisition Officer, Sitamarhi to examine the matter and pass an appropriate order within a period of two months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. This writ application is disposed of with the aforesaid observations and direction. Sanjay ( Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
