1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and Shri F.A. Ansari, learned Chief Standing Counsel for State-respondents.
2. The instant writ petition has been preferred for a direction to respondents to provide the compensation of the acquired land i.e. Khasra no.75, which was utilized by the respondents for road widening and for a further direction to respondents not to take over the land of petitioner without following the due procedure prescribed under the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 (in short the 'Act 2013').
3. At the very outset, learned Standing Counsel informed to the Court that for redressal of grievance of tenure holders, claiming certain right/title over their land, the State Government had issued detailed Government Order dated 12.05.2016, which provides that in case the claimant files claim supported with requisite documents, the same would be considered by the District Level Committee for ensuring adequate compensation in the light of Act 2013.
