IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA FA No.429 of 1987 RAMJI MAHTO son of Shri Loka Mahto, resident of Village- Meharpur, P.S. Biharsharif, District- Nalanda. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 15 27.3.2009 The appellant is aggrieved by the order passed by the Special Land Acquisition Judge, Nalanda at Biharsharif in terms of Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act . The appellant claimed a sum of Rs. 10,296/- over and above what is received. The District Land Acquisition Officer, Nalanda, is personally present in the Court and pursuant to instruction issued by the State Government, on behalf of the State he accepts the liability to pay the enhanced claim, as aforesaid, along with interest at the rate of 9% per annum from 10.12.1986 till the date payment is made. In this case amounts have not been calculated and sent to the requisitioning authority, as yet. However, as the amounts have been otherwise quantified, the District Land Acquisition Officer will ensure payment of amounts, as claimed, with interest upto date by cheque to the appellant within a period of three months from today. This disposed of the appeal itself by Lok Adalat. The District Land Acquisition Officer would requisition the amount from Power Grid Corporation of India Limited, the requisitioning authority but that would not delay the payment to the appellant. singh (Navaniti Prasad Singh,J)
