ORAL JUDGMENT

¶34

(PER: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE D K SINGH)

¶35

The present writ appeal is filed impugning the order dated 03.12.2024 passed in W.P.No.23980/2024 by the learned Single Judge.

¶36

Learned Single Judge, by the impugned order, has

¶37

directed that the compensation in respect of the land in question has to be deposited in the concerned Civil Court.

¶38

Learned Single Judge, however, has not passed any order insofar as apportionment and entitlement of compensation is concerned. Hence, we do not find that the present writ appeal has any merit.
