DATE : 11.01.2023 PER COURT :

1.

Heard.

2.

The petitioner is aggrieved by the fact that in spite of his 4 Are portion having been affected by the State Highway, he has not been paid compensation. It appears that even the respondent No.2 - Collector has addressed a letter to the respondent No.3 - Superintending Engineer Public Works Department, Nanded, dated 18.06.2022 to take appropriate steps, by precisely confirming that petitioner's 4 Are land has been affected. There is also a reference that rate for acquiring the land by private negotiation has also been determined. 3.

We dispose of the writ petition by directing the respondents to act as expeditiously as possible and in any case, complete the acquisition 1/2

929-WP-354-2023.odt process and pay the compensation to the petitioner within a period of six months.

4.

It is made clear that we are not expressing anything in respect of the petitioner'

s claim for payment of compensation according to the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, which issue is kept open. (S. G. CHAPALGAONKAR, J.) (MANGESH S. PATIL, J.) Sameer 2/2
