Azamgarh acquired by respondent no.2 for construction of National Highway No.233 and for a further direction to respondent no.3 to decide the application of the petitioner dated 01.05.2025 within stipulated period. 3. The petitioner claims to be co-tenure holders of Plot No.450 and seeking compensation as per his share. It is contended that in the instant matter even award has been made but the respondents have ensured only an amount of Rs.47 lacs out of Rs.66 lacs, which has been quantified as per the petitioner's share. Reliance in this regard has been placed upon Form 11 issued for the purpose of plot in question. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner has confined his prayer for a direction to respondents to ensure compensation commensurate to his holding.

Learned counsel for NHAI submits that in the instant matter compensation fixed by the Collector has been deposited with the Special Land Acquisition Officer (SLAO) and as such the relief, as has been prayed for, can be pressed before the SLAO/ Competent Authority. 6. Learned Addl. Chief Standing Counsel has also submitted that the factual aspect of the matter can be examined by SLAO, in case the matter is relegated before him. 7. Considering the factual situation and the relief, as has been prayed for, no useful purpose will be served in keeping the writ petition pending consideration. Without expressing any opinion on merits of the issue and with the consent of parties, the instant writ petition stands disposed of with observation that in case the petitioner files exhaustive representation ventilating his grievances before the SLAO qua his claim over the acquired property within two weeks, definitely the same would be considered and decided in accordance with law in further six weeks.
