Respondents For Petitioner : Mr. C.K. Sahu, Advocate For State : Mr. Saumitra Kesharwani, PL (Hon’ble Shri Justice Arvind Kumar Verma) Order on Board 25/06/2025 1. By way of the instant petition the petitioners are challenging the quantum of compensation and they allege that the very low 3 / 3 compensation has been granted to the petitioners in lieu of acquisition of their land in the year 2004-2005. 2. Earlier the petitioners have filed a writ petition bearing WPC No.3570 of 2022 wherein this Court has disposed of the said writ petition by order dated 23/08/2022 with a direction to the petitioners to make representation before the concerned respondent and the respondents were directed to decide the same within six months. Pursuant to the said order, the petitioners have moved a representation before the concerned respondent authorities and the respondent authorities while deciding the said representation have not followed the provisions of Section 25 of the CGLRC. Hence this petition. 3. Learned State counsel would submit that the petitioners have the alternative remedy of filing reference under Section 64 of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013. 4. Considering the fact that the petitioners have alternative remedy of filing reference under Section 64 of the Act, 2013, the petitioners are granted liberty to avail the alternative remedy of filing reference. 5. Accordingly, the instant writ petition stands disposed of. SD/- (Arvind Kumar Verma) JUDGE ashu
