Shivdas Bhavsing Chavan and Others Vs the State of Maharashtra through the Secretary and Others

The grievance of the Petitioners is that though their land was acquired in 2001 for construction of the percolation tank on 16.01.2001, the acquisition proceedings have not been initiated and, therefore, the compensation has not been paid.

¶15

The learned AGP submits, in the light of the affidavit in reply, that the State has already started the acquisition proceedings, a preliminary notification under Section 11 of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land

¶16

Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, has already been published in the gazette dated 25/31.05.2023. The timeline as prescribed in the 2013 Act will be followed and there would not be any delay.

¶17

The learned Advocate for the Petitioners submits

¶18

that though there is a specific time line for passing of the award, the State would cause delay in disbursing the amount.

¶19

As such, this Writ Petition is disposed off since the purpose for which the petition was filed, has been achieved. After the award is delivered within the timeline as prescribed by the 2013 Act, we expect the Authorities to disburse the payment to the landlords, as expeditiously as possible, provided there is no legal impediment.
