DATE : 09 JANUARY 2025 PER COURT :

.

Heard the respective counsels.

2.

The lands of the petitioner were acquired and the compensation was determined. However the land acquisition officer has deducted the Tax at Source (in short 'TDS'). The grievance of the petitioner is that the amount deducted towards TDS is yet not transferred to the Income Tax Department nor the Land Acquisition Officer refunded the same to the petitioner.

3.

The counsel for the petitioner submits that if the Land Acquisition Officer is directed to transfer that amount to the Income Tax department the purpose would be served. In view thereof we dispose of this writ petition by passing following order :
