Jaunpur by deciding representation dated 17.02.2025. " 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that as he has already filed a detailed objection before the competent authority in view of the provisions contained under Section 3-H(4) of the National Highways Act, 1956 instead of deciding the same, the authority has proceeded to disburse the compensation in favour of the respondent no.4, 5 & 6. Accordingly, the notices have been issued. 5. Learned counsel for the petitioner has confined his relief under Section 3-H(4) of the National Highways Act, 1956, which may be decided in accordance with law. Versus Counsel for Petitioner(s) : Keshawa Prasad Pandey, Pankaj Baranwal Counsel for Respondent(s) : A.S.G.I., C.S.C. Radha Devi .....Petitioner(s) Union Of India And 5 Others .....Respondent(s) 6. Considering the factual situation at this stage, we do not find any reason to keep the matter pending consideration or to issue notice to the respondent nos.4, 5 & 6 as we find that a civil suit has been preferred in the year 2011 in which no interim injunction has been granted. 7. Considering the facts and circumstances, in case, any such application is pending consideration in view of the provisions contained under Section 3-H(4) of the National Highways Act, 1956, we expect that the same shall be considered and decided in accordance with law but certainly giving an opportunity to all the stakeholders. 8. Needless to say we have not adverted to the matter on merits. October 28, 2025 Priya WRIC No. 35763 of 2025 2 (Kunal Ravi Singh,J.) (Mahesh Chandra Tripathi,J.)
