The short grouse raised in the present revision petition is with respect to non-payment of complete amount of compensation. 2.

3.1 However, at this stage, it may be noticed here that the petitioner-landowner has been fighting for disbursal of his enhanced amount of compensation as against the acquisition of 6.5 square yards of land only, yet, he was made to file different petitions including the petition for enhancement; execution petition as well as the present revision petition. In such circumstances, the office of respondents No.1 and 2 are directed to pay litigation costs of Rs.25,000/- each to the petitioner within a period of 15 days from today. The cost be initially paid by respondents No.1 and 2, however, an inquiry be also held by the respondents to find at whose instance the delay has occurred in disbursal of compensation to the petitioner-landowner and the cost be thereafter recovered from the officer concerned and a report in this regard be also furnished before this Court within 03 months from today.

It may be further noticed that the issue regarding delayed disbursal of compensation has become a common practice and is being dealt with by this Court in various other cases which has compelled this Court to impose cost upon respondents.
