Heard the parties. 2. By referring the Annexure-2 i.e., page No.31 to the writ petition, the petitioner submits that a Notice under Section 37(2) of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement (RFCTLARR) Act of 2013 has been issued to the petitioner informing that Rs.14,14,814/- is assessed as compensation. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he is aggrieved by the quantum. He also submits that the aforesaid amount has also not been disbursed to the petitioner. 4. Considering the grievance of the petitioner, an application under Article 266 of the Constitution of India in respect of the dispute which the petitioner is raising, is not maintainable. The petitioner should approach and avail the remedies available under the 2013 Act itself, if he is not satisfied with the quantum. 5. In the meantime, the respondents can disburse the admitted amount to the petitioner. 6. With the aforesaid observation, this writ petition stands disposed of.
