What is this about?
This court dismissed a writ petition challenging the compensation for acquired land used for a National Highway.

The court held that the appropriate remedy is arbitration before the District Magistrate under Section 3-G(5) of the National Highway Act, 1956.
What did the court decide?
The petition was dismissed as there is a statutory remedy for enhancement of award via arbitration.
