Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:61003-DB Court No. - 21 Case :- WRIT - C No. - 12151 of 2025 Petitioner :- Smt Savitri Devi Respondent :- State Of U.P. And 5 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Satyendra Narayan Singh,Sushil Kumar Pandey Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C.,Pranjal Mehrotra Hon'ble Manoj Kumar Gupta,J. Hon'ble Anish Kumar Gupta,J.
1. The petitioner feeling aggrieved by order passed by Competent Authority dated 26 November 2024 has filed the present petition. By the said order, the Competent Authority has deferred payment of compensation amount until the dispute pending between the petitioner and respondents No. 4 & 5 before the Civil Court and Board of Revenue are decided. The impugned order records that an injunction order is also operative in the civil suit and therefore, it would not be proper to release compensation at this stage.
2. Learned counsel for the petitioner, relying on para-19 of the writ petition, submits that there has been a compromise between the petitioner and respondents No. 4 & 5 and on 10.12.2024, they have filed an affidavit in this behalf.
3. In our opinion, in case, there has been any compromise between the petitioner and respondents No. 4 & 5 as alleged, it is open to the petitioner to file the said compromise in the suit filed by her and in the Board of Revenue so that the said proceedings are decided accordingly, and thereafter apply for release of compensation.
4. Shri S.N. Singh, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the
petitioner very fairly prays for withdrawal of the instant petition with liberty to the petitioner to file the compromise application in the pending proceedings and reserves his right to claim compensation.
5. Accordingly, the petition stands disposed of as withdrawn with liberty to the petitioner to take appropriate steps as may be advised. Order Date :- 23.4.2025 Mukesh Kr. (Anish Kumar Gupta,J.) (Manoj Kumar Gupta,J.) Digitally signed by :- MUKESH KUMAR High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
