2. The Court finds no merit in the writ application and thus it is dismissed for the reasons recorded hereinbelow:

Patna High Court CWJC No.17180 of 2024(2) dt.13-11-2024 2/2

3. The instant writ application has been filed seeking a direction upon the respondents to pay fair compensation to the petitioner for their land taken for construction of State Highway (SH-99) running form N.H.-31 at Baisi Crossing in the district of Purnea to Dighal Bank in the district of Kishanganj.

4. On query of the Court from the learned counsel that since it has been pleaded in the prayer portion that the land has been acquired for construction of the State Highway (SH-99) but the notification is not on record on which the learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the land has not been acquired but has been forcefully taken by the authorities for constructing a road but then there is no pleading to that effect in the writ application. The pleadings are confused, as such, this Court is not inclined to entertain the writ application.

5. Accordingly, the writ application stands dismissed.

6. However, the same would not preclude the petitioner from filing a fresh writ application with proper pleading.
