1. The case of the petitioner is that his claim for enhancement of compensation for the acquired land came to be finally settled by the judgement of the Supreme Court dated 08.12.2022 in Special Leave to Appeal No.9336 of 2020 and, thereafter, the balance amount of compensation i.e., Rs.54,55,733/- was deposited by NOIDA before ADJ-IX, Ghaziabad, the court, which passed the award on 13.05.2002 under Section 18 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. When the petitioner moved application before the ADJ- IX, Ghaziabad for release of the amount, the application was not accepted and the petitioner was informed that he should make request before the Authority constituted under Act No.30 of 2013 at Gautam Buddh Nagar. The petitioner filed application before the Authority at Gautam Buddh Nagar but the said application has been consigned to record after obtaining report from the office, which mentioned that no money is in deposit with the Authority in respect of the claim of the petitioner.
2. We notice that the order in this regard was passed by the Authority on 22.11.2024.
3. We grant leave to the petitioner to move fresh application before the Authority at Gautam Buddh Nagar and pray for release of the compensation amount. In the event, any such application is filed, the Authority will obtain report from ADJ-IX, Ghaziabad regarding deposit of compensation amount by the Development Authority in the account of the said court. The ADJ-IX, Ghaziabad and the Authority will jointly ensure that enhanced compensation, as finalized by the Supreme Court, is paid to the petitioner within four weeks.
4. A copy of the order alongwith application will also be filed by the petitioner before ADJ-IX, Ghaziabad so that both the ADJ and
the Authority coordinate between themselves regarding release of the compensation amount in favour of the petitioner.
5. The petition stands disposed of accordingly. (Anish Kumar Gupta, J.) (Manoj Kumar Gupta, J.) Order Date :- 30.5.2025 Ankit. Digitally signed by :- ANKIT VISHWAKARMA High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
