WP(C) 1538/2010 BEFORE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE AMITAVA ROY The petitioners seek a direction to the respondents for release of an am ount of Rs. 27,21,901.24/- in L.A. Case No. 4/2006-07 registered in connection w ith acquisition of their land along with dwelling houses, wells, zirats etc. in the year 2003 for construction of IBB Roads. They admit that out of the total co mpensation amount of Rs. 1,35,48,120/-, 80% thereof has already been released in their favour and now their claim constitutes the remaining 20% thereof. As insp ite of repeated representations and exchange of official communications nothing has materialized, they are before this Court. I have heard Mr SC Biswas, learned counsel for the petitioner and Ms VL Singh, learned State counsel for the official respondents. Though no affidavit-in-opposition has been filed by the respondents, the y have posted Ms Singh with necessary written instructions as are contained in t he letter No. CLA.26/2003-4/453 dated 26.3.2010 of the Deputy Commissioner, Cach ar. It appears therefrom in substance that the Executive Engineer, BRC has been requested to deposit the necessary fund for remittance of the aforementioned bal ance amount of 20% of the compensation for the zirat of 29 pattadars as referred to therein. The contents of the letter clearly refers to L.A. Case No. 19/2003- 04 (old) corresponding to 4/2006-07(new) as mentioned in the writ petition. Upon hearing the learned counsel for the parties and on a consideration of the written instructions as referred to hereinabove reflecting the stand of t he respondents, it is considered expedient to close the instant proceeding with a direction to the Deputy Commissioner, Cachar to cause necessary steps to be ta ken to ensure that the balance amount of compensation is paid to the pattadars i nvolved as due to them in law. Needless to say, before final disbursement the aforementioned authority would notify the petitioners and release them their dues on proper identificatio n. As the petitioners wait in expectation for nearly a decade after acquisition of their land, the process as directed should be completed within six weeks from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. No costs.
