Mr.Ambrish Kumar Jha For the State :

Mr.Syed Iqbal Ahmad (SC-20) Mr. Mahendra Prasad Verma, AC to SC 20 ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE CHAKRADHARI SHARAN SINGH ORAL ORDER 19-07-2019 Heard.

The petitioners are seeking quashing of an order dated 08.01.2019, passed in Misc. Case No. 02 of 2019 by the Collector, Samastipur, whereby the petitioners' claim for compensation against acquisition of their land has been rejected. It is the petitioners' case that the land, in question, was acquired in L.A. Case No. 07 of 1976. After 42 years of the said acquisition, the petitioners appear to have filed their application before the Collector. The Collector has noted that the petitioners did not submit any paper or notification in

Patna High Court CWJC No.8408 of 2019(5) dt.19-07-2019 2/2 connection with acquisition of their land for payment of compensation.

I do not find any justification on record coming forth to explain the delay of 42 years.

This writ application appears to be misconceived and is accordingly dismissed.
