Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:119294-DB Court No. - 29 Case :- WRIT - C No. - 23384 of 2025 Petitioner :- Sita Ram Sharma And 6 Others Respondent :- State Of U.P. And 2 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Amit Singh Yadav,Gautam Kumar Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C. Hon'ble Mahesh Chandra Tripathi,J. Hon'ble Vinod Diwakar,J.
1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and Shri Akhileshwar Singh, learned Addl. Chief Standing Counsel for State respondents. Shri Amit Singh has accepted notice on behalf of UPSIDA.
2. Sita Ram Sharma and 6 others have invoked the writ jurisdiction for a direction to respondents to decide their representation dated 21.05.2025 qua additional compensation of 64.7% in the light of the Full Bench judgment of this Court in Gajraj & Ors. v. State of U.P. & Ors., (2011) 11 ADJ 1 (FB)
3. It is contended that the land of the petitioners was acquired by the respondents by way of issuing notification under Sections 4 and 6 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (in short "L.A. Act"). In lieu of the acquisition, the award was also made on 09.07.1997 and the petitioners had also received the compensation. Learned counsel for the petitioners, in this backdrop, states that the claim of the petitioners is to be addressed in the light of the judgment in Gajraj & Ors. (Supra).
4. The relief is resisted by learned counsel for respondents on the ground that the acquisition in question was not subject matter of challenge in Gajraj & Ors. (Supra), wherein each and every notification of the respective villages had been considered and at
this belated stage, such relief cannot be accorded.
5. Considering the factual situation, without adverting on merits of the case, the writ petition stands disposed of with observation that in case the petitioners move fresh representation ventilating their grievances before the Authority concerned within two weeks, the same shall be considered and decided strictly in accordance with law expeditiously.
