09/ 02.04.2026: Heard, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the respondents.
2. Mrs. Nitu Kumari, District Land Acquisition Officer, Giridih is present today.
3. It is the grievance of the petitioner that the entire compensation amount as awarded has not been paid to the petitioner. It is his grievance that an amount of Rs.8,79,025/- is still remains due as the award is of Rs.33,73,187/-.
4.
Learned counsel for the respondents and the Officers, who are present today, admits that the petitioner is entitled for further amount, but the said amount has not been paid, since the petitioner has not deposited the indemnity bond and did not furnish the bank account details.
5.
Learned counsel for the petitioner now in the Court has filed an affidavit annexing the copy of passbook of this petitioner. The said photocopy is at Annexure-3. The photocopy contains the details of the bank account number of the petitioner, IFSC Code, MICR Code etc. This document can be used by the respondents to transfer the amount in favour of the petitioner. In paragraph 3 of the said affidavit, the
petitioner has stated that he undertakes to refund the amount if it is found in future that the amount has been wrongly paid to the petitioner. This statement can be treated as indemnity.
6. Thus, I direct the petitioner to approach the respondents by next week and file appropriate indemnity bond. On receipt of the same, the respondents will disburse the amount to the petitioner, by direct transfer to his bank account within two days.
7. With the aforesaid observation, the instant writ petition stands
disposed of.
8. Personal appearance of the Officer is dispensed with.
