Order 14/02/2025
1. Heard counsel for both parties and perused the record.
2. Additional Govt. Counsel, appearing for and on behalf of respondents-State has filed an application dated 14.02.2025, placing Cheque No.020054 dated 22.11.2024 of Baroda Rajasthan Kshetriya Gramin Bank, drawn by the Land Acquisition Officer, in favour of Babulal S/o Shri Jagannath (sole petitioner herein), in compliance of the order dated 19.11.2024 passed by the Coordinate Bench of this Court, on record.
3. It has inter alia been stated by counsel for respondents that the amount of Cheque amounting Rs.26,09,592/-, is being paid to the petitioner for compensation as full and final payment, in respect of acquisition of remaining lands of Khasra No.362
[2025:RJ-JP:6692] (2 of 2) [CW-17357/2017] situated at Village Kachanariya, Tehsil Aklera, District Jhalawar. Original Cheque is taken on record.
4. Counsel for petitioner, having instructions from the petitioner, submits that petitioner is agreeable to accept the Cheque amount of compensation for acquisition of his land and does not want to pursue the present writ petition further, however, seeks liberty to claim enhanced compensation/ interest thereupon by appropriate proceedings, if permissible in law.
5. Having perused the writ petition, it appears that instant writ petition was filed by petitioner on 22.09.2017, raising a grievance of non-payment of compensation of remaining four bighas of land of Khasra No.362 situated at Village Kachanariya, Tehsil Aklera, District Jhalawar, which has been acquired by the respondents. However, since the compensation of Rs.26,09,592/- through Cheque dated 22.11.2024, has been paid by respondents and petitioner is agreeable to accept the same, this Court is not inclined to enter into the merits of the writ petition, to adjudicate the same on merits.
6. Accordingly, the present writ petition is disposed of with the liberty prayed for by the petitioner.
7. Petitioner is at liberty to obtain the original Cheque bearing No.020054 dated 22.11.2024, from the Office. Office is directed to retain a copy of the original cheque with a receipt of delivery of the original cheque to the petitioner.
8. Stay application and pending application(s), if any, stand
disposed of.
