J U D G M E N T

Award Nos.1/13-14 and 5/13-14 dated 30.8.2014 and 22.7.2014 respectively have been passed. The same is relation to the acquisition of the property of the petitioner. The petitioner has already received the amount due under Award No.5/13-14 and is yet to receive the amount due under Award No.1/13-14.

2. Awards have been passed after the commencement of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Re-settlement Act, 2013. Therefore the receipt of the amount under the Awards by the petitioner would be without prejudice to his right for further determination of compensation. This is evident by Section 24(1)(a) of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Re-settlement Act, 2013.

2. It is clarified that Awards would be passed anew under the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Re-settlement Act, 2013. The same shall be done after

WP(C)No.8243/2015 the framing of the rules for determination of the compensation.

The amount received under Award Nos.1/13-14 and 5/13-14 would be given credit to while quantifying the amounts due further under the new Act aforementioned.

The Writ Petition is disposed of.
