Hasoud, Tahsil Hasoud, District Sakti. The maximum part of the land owned by the petitioner of the aforementioned khasra numbers was affected by the construction of Basantpur-Parsada-Ghoghri Road. However, at the time of initiating proceedings of land acquisition of the other persons, land of the petitioner was not included in the notification and passing of the award of the affected land and the award was passed by the Land Acquisition Officer on 25.01.2017. The respondents paid the compensation to other land owners but the compensation has not been paid to the petitioner. The petitioner has made several oral requests to the authorities, however, it was not considered and, thereafter, petitioner submitted a representation before the respondents No. 3 to 5 on 07.04.2025, however, till date, it has not been considered and no
