The petitioner has been paid compensation only for 4 bigha whereas compensation for 11 biswa 11 biswansi has not been paid to him so far.
2. Shri Ishan Deo Giri, learned counsel appearing on behalf of respondent no.2, on instructions, states that award for the entire acquired land was duly made and the amount is in deposit with the Special Land Acquisition Officer.

The compensation amount for the remaining land, being in deposit with the Special Land Acquisition Officer, it could be withdrawn by the petitioner by moving appropriate application.
