CORAM

: MANISH PITALE & Y. G. KHOBRAGADE, JJ.

DATE : 08.08.2025 ORAL ORDER (PER - MANISH PITALE, J.) :

1.

Writ Petition Nos.9953/2025 and 9957/2025 are not board. Upon mentioning taken on board.

2.

In these petitions, similar issues are raised by the petitioners and we find that on earlier occasion, this Court has disposed of the petitions, issuing specific directions that have partly addressed the concerns raised by the petitioners herein.

31 906.WP.7866.21.odt 3.

On 17.07.2025, this Court passed a common order in writ petition No. 240 of 2023 (Rajendra Namdev Patil and others Vs. The Competent Authority, Land Acquisition and another) with connected writ petitions, as under:- 1.

When these petitions are called out for consideration, there is no serious dispute about the fact that the issues raised in these petitions are covered by earlier order passed by this Court in similar matters. On 26.06.2025, this Court passed a common order in Writ Petition No.12512/2019 (Trimbak Aadhar Bhamre and Anr. Vs. The Union of India and others with connected writ petitions) granting relief similar to the relief claimed in this petition.

2.

It is the case of the petitioners that, they are entitled to solatium and interest on the compensation amount in accordance with principles laid down by the Supreme Court in the case of Union of India and Anr. Vs. Tarsem Singh and Ors.; (2019) 9 SCC 304.

3.

In the said order passed in Trimbak Aadhar Bhamre Vs. the Union of India (supra), while considering identical contention, this Court held as follows :

"5.

This Court, at the Principal Seat, in Writ Petition No.11932 of 2019 (Hiraman Namdeo Lonare and others Vs. The Union of India and Others) and a group of cases, vide judgment dated 08.04.2025, recorded that the parties agree that the main issue involved in the Petitions was covered by the decision in Tarsem Singh (supra). 6.

In view of the application made by the NHAI in Miscellaneous Application Diary No.2572 of 2020 in Civil Appeal No.7086 of 2019, the Hon'ble Supreme Court had passed an order on 30.07.2021, clarifying that the words "(1A) and" appearing in paragraph 41 of the judgment dated 19.09.2019, be deleted. Accordingly, the relief that was granted, was in terms of Section 23 and 28 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 and not under Section 23(1A). 7.

In Hiraman Namdeo Lonare (supra), the judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court dated 04.02.2025 (supra), was also cited. It was observed by this Court that the

32 906.WP.7866.21.odt NHAI would compute and pay the Petitioners, solatium and interest in accordance with the principles laid down in the said matters, within three months of the uploading of the order dated 08.04.2025.

8.

Thereafter, the judgment was delivered by the Hon'ble Supreme Court on 04.02.2025, rejecting all the Review Petitions. Neither the Petitioners, nor the NHAI, have ever challenged the Arbitral Awards before any Court.

9.

With regard to the objection on the maintainability of these Petitions, an identical issue was raised before this Court at the Principal Seat in Writ Petition No.9608 of 2023 (Kisanlal Bairudas Jain Vs. Union of India and others) and group of cases. By judgment dated 09.05.2025, this Court referred to the law laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in M/s Godrej Sara Lee Ltd Vs. The Excise and Taxation Officer-cum-Assessing Authority and Ors, 2023 (384) ELT 8 (SC) and delivered a verdict concluding that the objection to the maintainability of the Petitions on the ground of an alternate remedy, is overruled.

10.

We direct the Competent Authority to compute and pay all these Petitioners, solatium and interest in accordance with the principles enunciated in Tarsem Singh (supra), within three months from today.

11.

As like the directions set out in Hiraman (supra), we record that if the payment of such compensation is delayed or is wrongly concluded on assumptions and presumptions, we would hold the Officers of the Competent Authority, responsible for the delayed payment or insufficient payment and in which case, if the interest for delayed payment or insufficient payment is computed, in any proceeding brought to this Court or before whichever authority, such interest component or insufficient payment, will be recovered from the salaries of the Officers who are responsible for such erroneous calculations.

12.

Insofar as the contention of the learned Advocate for the NHAI, that there ought not to be a double payment with reference to the loss of easementary rights at the rate of 10%, since that issue is not addressed to the Court in these Petitions by the Petitioners and since the Arbitral Award has not been challenged by the NHAI, we do not

33 906.WP.7866.21.odt have to express any view on this aspect.

13.

In view of the above, all these Writ Petitions before us are disposed off in the light of Tarsem Singh (supra) and the above referred orders."

4.

We are of the opinion that these petitions can also be allowed and disposed of in view of the above quoted order passed in petition No.12512/2019 (Trimbak Aadhar Bhamre and Anr. Vs. The Union of India and others with connected writ petitions) granting relief similar to the relief claimed in these petitions.

5.

The learned counsel Mr. Urgunde for the contesting respondents submits that reply affidavit can be placed on record within one week. Since we have orally heard the learned counsel for the contesting respondents and understood the issues raised by them, permission to file reply affidavits within one week can be granted. Accordingly, reply affidavits, if any, be filed within one week from today. 6.

It is further pointed out by the contesting respondents that this Court may consider directing the petitioners to produce all relevant documents before the competent authorities for verification when the competent authorities undertake any exercise of computation of amounts payable to the petitioners towards solatium and interest in accordance with the principles noted in the above quoted order of this Court. It is further submitted that even if this Court were to pass an order in favour of the petitioners in the same manner as earlier orders have been passed in the case of similarly situated petitioners, it may be

34 906.WP.7866.21.odt observed that such payments shall be subject to challenges raised, if any, under sections 34 and 37 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996. 7.

At this stage, the learned counsel for the contesting respondents submits that in some of the petitions the petitioners have directly filed writ petitions before this Court seeking relief on the basis of the aforesaid judgment of the Supreme Court in the case of Union of India and another Vs. Tarsem Singh and others (supra). It is submitted that the said petitioners have not initially approached the competent authority. We are of the opinion that the aforesaid fact need not detain us in disposing of the said petitions also, as it would be open for the parties to invoke Section 3G (5) of the National Highways Act, 1956, limited only to any grievance with regard to the quantum calculated by the competent authority after complying with the ratio of the judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Union of India and another Vs. Tarsem Singh and others (supra). Needless to say that the subsequent challenges under Sections 34 and 37 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, would also be available to the aggrieved party if any.

8.

It is further submitted on behalf of the contesting respondent that yesterday a review petition is preferred by the National Highway Authority of India before the Hon'ble Supreme Court seeking review of the aforementioned judgment in the case of Union of India and another Vs. Tarsem Singh and others (supra). Mere filing of review petition would not

35 906.WP.7866.21.odt detain this Court from disposing of the present writ petitions, in the light of the fact that petitions raising identical issues have been already disposed of earlier by this Court.

9.

Considering the aforesaid submissions made on behalf of the contesting respondents, we are inclined to allow these petitions in the following manner :- (a) In the light of above, these petitions are allowed by directing the competent authorities to compute and pay to the petitioners solatium and interest in accordance with the principles enunciated in the case of Union of India and another Vs. Tarsem Singh and others (supra) within a period of six (6) months from today.

(b) It is made clear that the petitioners shall assist the competent authorities by producing all relevant documents and upon verification of the same, the competent authorities shall proceed further. It is also clarified that payments made pursuant to the directions given herein-above, shall be subject to the challenges, if any, raised under sections 34 and 37 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996.

(c).

In the light of the observations made herein above, it is further made clear that if any of the parties are aggrieved by the quantum and computation carried out by the competent authority while carrying out the directions given herein above, the remedy of Section 3G (5) of the National Highways Act, 1956 would be available to such aggrieved party

36 906.WP.7866.21.odt in accordance with law. It is further made clear that the competent Authority while implementing the directions given herein above shall give reasonable hearing to all stake holders.

10.

Writ petitions are disposed of in the above terms. 11.

Pending applications, if any, also stand disposed of. (Y. G. KHOBRAGADE, J.) (MANISH PITALE, J.) habeeb/
