ANCHAL ADHIKARI MOHANIA --- RESPONDENTS. ----------- 03 04.04.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Advocate General appearing on behalf of the State. Eleven petitioners claimed to be purchasers of small tracts/pieces of land by different sale deeds. It is their case that in the year 2008-09, they were served with notification issued under Section 12(2) of the Bihar Land Acquisition Act ( hereinafter referred to as the ‘Act’) in connection with Land Acquisition case no. 01 of 2008-09. It is their case that the valuation made under the award was not acceptable to them and accordingly objections/applications were filed before the concerned Land Acquisition authority vide Annexure-4 series. It is their case that till 2 date the authorities have not referred the matter to the Land Acquisition Judge for adjudication in terms of Section 18 of the Act. It is contended that respondent no.3( Land Acquisition Officer, Kaimur at Bhabua) be directed to take steps for forwarding the application/objections for adjudication in terms of Section 18 of the Act forthwith. Learned Advocate General, in view of the limited submission made on behalf of the petitioners, does not object. Accordingly this Court disposes of the application by the following order:- Let petitioners approach respondent no.3 (Land Acquisition Officer, Kaimur at Bhabua) by filing application annexing therewith a copy of the present order within a period of 04 weeks from today whereafter respondent no.3 shall take steps for disposing of the applications/objections in terms of Section 18 of the Act within a period of 04 weeks thereafter.
