1. The sole grievance of the petitioners is that the fifth respondent, i.e. Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd. is threatening to erect power line through the fields of the petitioners without paying any compensation to them. The petitioners have therefore prayed for a direction to the respondents not to raise any construction over their land comprising of Arazi No. 334, area 1.1120 hectare, Village Rudrapur, Pargana Haveli, Tehsil Sadar, District Maharajganj, except in accordance with law.
2. Sri J. Nagar, Sr. Advocate assited by Sri Pratik J. Nagar, learned counsel appearing on behalf of respondent no. 5, invites our attention towards a communication dated 17.2.2025 by Deputy General Manager, Gorakhpur, Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd., addressed to the petitioners, whereby they were requested to provide title documents and bank details to facilitate payment of compensation to the extent of 85% of the circle rate.
3. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners have submitted a detailed representation on 1.3.2025 for payment of compensation to them at the market value.
4. Since the fifth respondent has already issued notice to the petitioners requiring them to submit title documents and evidence in support of their claim, therefore, we dispose of the instant
petition with liberty to the petitioners to provide the aforesaid details to respondent no. 5 within four weeks from today and in which event, respondent no. 5 will compute the compensation payable to the petitioners and shall ensure payment of the same to them without any delay.
