Respondents (Cause title is taken from CIS Periphery.) For Petitioner : Mr. Rupendra Kumar Dewangan, Advocate. For State : Dr. Arham Siddiqui, P.L. Hon'ble Shri Justice Amitendra Kishore Prasad Order on Board 21.07.2026 Digitally signed by RAVVA UTTEJ KUMAR RAJU 2 1. This petition has been filed by the petitioner seeking following reliefs:- “10.1 This Hon’ble Court may kindly be pleased to pass an appropriate order or issue writ and direct the respondent authorities to disburse the amount of compensation for the land situated at Village-Nariyra, Tahsil-Pamgarh, District- Janjgir-Champa (C.G.) bearing Khasra No. 613/1 along with interest, in the interest of justice. 10.2 This Hon’ble Court may kindly be pleased to pass an appropriate order or issue writ and direct the respondent authorities to decide the representations of the petitioner within a period of 30 days, in the interest of justice. 10.3 This Hon’ble Court may further be pleased to pass an appropriate order or issue writ as deemed fit under the facts and circumstances of the case.” 2. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner's land has been acquired for the purpose of construction of a canal. However, despite such acquisition, the compensation payable in respect of the acquired land has not been disbursed to the petitioner. Aggrieved by the non-payment of compensation, the petitioner has approached this Court by filing the present writ petition. 3. Learned counsel for the State submits that there is no document on record to demonstrate that the petitioner's land was utilized for the construction of the canal. He further contends that the department responsible for the construction of the canal has not been impleaded as a necessary party, and therefore, the present petition suffers from non-joinder of necessary parties and is not maintainable. 4. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and upon perusal of the record, this Court finds that the pleadings made by the petitioner are not supported by any cogent documentary evidence. No revenue records, title documents, or any other material have been placed on record to establish that the land claimed by the petitioner belongs to 3 him or that the same has been acquired or utilized for the construction of the canal. This Court further finds that there is no averment, much less any supporting document, demonstrating that the canal has in fact been constructed over the petitioner's land. In the absence of the relevant revenue records and title documents, the claim of the petitioner cannot be verified. Mere reliance upon a representation dated 07.07.2022, without any corroborative documentary evidence, is insufficient to establish the petitioner's claim or to enable this Court to grant the relief sought. Consequently, the factual foundation necessary for adjudication of the present writ petition is lacking. 5. Accordingly, the writ petition being bereft of merit is hereby dismissed.
