CORAM : SMT. VIBHA KANKANWADI & AJIT B. KADETHANKAR, JJ.

DATE : 28 APRIL 2026 ORDER :

.

It is stated that as regards compensation under Section 80 of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, the amount payable is stated to be Rs.9,24,492/- in respect of petitioner No.1; amount of Rs.7,323/- in respect of petitioner No.2, amount of Rs.2,88,520/- in respect of petitioner No.3, amount of Rs.36,616/- in respect of petitioner No.4 and amount of Rs.65,436/- in respect of petitioner No.5. Though the cheques of eight persons have been deposited by the respondents, only five petitioners are before this Court and, therefore, we direct the registry to [1]

903-wp-1985-2026.odt return those remaining cheques to respondent No.3. 2.

Now, the calculation that has been given in respect of rental compensation is stated to be Rs.29,50,604/- for all eight persons. We direct respondent No.2 to deposit the said amount or cause it to be deposited through the acquiring body on or before 11.06.2026. We are making it clear that we are not going into the calculation and decide as to whether the claim of the petitioner is correct or the claim of the respondent is correct. That would be decided at a later stage and when the deadline is given, respondent No.2 should see that the said amount is deposited. This will not consider the request that only the demand has been made and the acquiring body is yet to respond. Respondent No.2 may recover the said amount which would be deposited by it from the acquiring body at a later point of time.

Place the matter for consideration on 19.06.2026 [ AJIT B. KADETHANKAR ] [ SMT. VIBHA KANKANWADI ] JUDGE JUDGE scm [2]
