For Respondent No.5 : Mr. Dheeraj Kumar Wankhede, Advocate Hon'ble Shri Justice Parth Prateem Sahu Order On Board 08/12/2025 1. Petitioners have filed this petition seeking following relief (s) :- (i) That, this Hon’ble Court may kindly be pleased to call for the entire record concerning the case of the petitioners from the respondent authorities for its kind perusal. 4 (ii) That this Hon’ble Court may kindly be pleased to issue appropriate writ directing the respondent authorities to grant the compensation amount as per the supplementary award dated 25.01.2017 (Annexure P/1) with interest within the prescribed period. (iii) Any other relief or relief (s) which this Hon’ble Court may deem fit or proper in the facts and circumstances of the case.” 2. Learned counsel for respondents submits that though the award has been passed by the Competent Authority under the Land Acquisition Act, however, the award is under challenge before the Arbitrator U/s. 3 G (5) of the National Highways Act, 1956, therefore, the amount is not disbursed. He contended that the amount towards compensation against acquisition of land of petitioners will be disbursed after conclusion of the proceedings pending before the Arbitrator. 3. At this stage, learned counsel for petitioners submits that this petition may be disposed of by directing the Arbitrator to conclude the proceeding at the earliest. 4. Mr. Wankhede, learned counsel appearing on behalf of respondents No.5 submits that it is petitioners, who earlier not appeared before the Arbitrator after receipt of notice and now after appearing reply to the claim application has not been submitted. 5. In the aforementioned facts of the case, where petitioners themselves appears to be in default in not filing the proceedings within specified time, I do not find any good ground to accept the prayer of learned counsel for petitioner. 5 6. Accordingly, this petition is disposed of in view of the submission made by learned counsel for respondents. Sd/- (Parth Prateem Sahu) Judge Balram
