For the grievances raised on behalf of the petitioners, as indicated in para 1 of the writ petition, they have a remedy before the statutory authorities under the provisions of The Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (in short 'Act, 1894'). In the writ petition filed on behalf of the petitioners complete facts have not been disclosed. Neither the date of award nor the copy of the award prepared under the provisions of the Act, 1894 have been brought on the record. It appears that the petitioners are not satisfied with the quantum of compensation paid to them. That being the position, they have a remedy under the provisions of the Act, 1894.
In above view of the matter, the writ petition is disposed of with a liberty to the petitioners to raise their grievances before the statutory authorities, as indicated above.
