Page No.# 3/4 Deka, learned counsel for the respondent Nos. 5, 6, 7 and 9. 2. The dispute raised in this writ petition is as regards apportionment of land acquisition compensation in respect of a land measuring 64 Lechas covered by Dag No. 59 of Village- Hakama Pt-II (Town) in the District of Dhubri, Assam. 3. Total land acquired was 3 Katha 4 Lechas out of 3 Bigha 1 katha 12 Lechas covered by Dag No. 59 of Village- Hakama under LA Case No. 1/2021-2022. 4. It is the case of the writ petitioners that the respondent Nos. 5, 6, 7 and 8 are not entitled to the apportionment of compensation in respect of 53 Lechas, however, they are entitled to apportionment of compensation in respect of 36 lechas out of 53 Lechas. On the other hand, as per the respondents, they are entitled to apportionment of compensation for 51 lechas. 5. Thus, there is no dispute amongst the parties as regards apportionment of compensation for 13 Lechas of land. There is no dispute that the writ petitioners are entitled for apportionment of compensation so far relating to 13 lechas and the respondent Nos. 5, 6, 7 and 8 are entitled for apportionment of compensation in respect of 36 lechas. 6. The parties have agreed thus, to amicably settle and receive the compensation to the extant indicated above i.e. compensation against 13 lechas for the writ petitioners and the compensation against 36 lecahs for the respondent Nos. 5, 6, 7 and 8. 7. However, the dispute remains for apportionment of compensation so far it relates to remaining 15 lechas of land and the parties have agreed that for determination of such dispute, they shall approach the appropriate forum under Assam Land Requisition and Acquisition Act, 1964 i.e. by way of Reference. 8. In view of the aforesaid and taking note of the joint affidavit filed by both the Page No.# 4/4 parties, the present writ petition stands disposed of permitting the respondent authorities to disburse land acquisition compensation already determined to the petitioners for the land in question to the extent of 13 lechas and to the respondent Nos. 5, 6, 7 and 8 to the extent of 36 lechas. 9. Parties shall be at liberty to approach the appropriate forum so far the same relates to the determination of apportionment against the remaining land i.e. 15 lechas. 10. Interim order passed earlier if any, stands vacated. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
