owners claiming the referred amount of compensation for their land acquired under the new Act, 2013.
Learned counsel for the respondents submits that the respondents have specifically stated in their counter affidavits that the compensation has not been decided as yet for the reason that the matter is at the stage of assessment of the compensation amount.
Hence, the prayer is premature.
Accordingly, these writ applications stand disposed of as premature.
