notice or payment of compensation.

¶21

In this case, a counter-affidavit has been filed on behalf of Respondent Nos. 3 to 5. It is stated therein that pursuant to the directions passed by this Hon’ble Court, the land in question was demarcated in presence of the parties on 27.10.2023 and a report had been submitted wherein it has been stated that the road in question was constructed on the village road and the same was constructed with consent of the parties and at the time of construction, no objection was raised by the petitioner.

¶22

Perusal of the records does not show that any objection was raised by the petitioner at the time of construction of the road. The fact that the petitioner maintained silence when the road was being constructed and did not raise any grievance indicates that he had agreed to construction of the road. After years of construction of the village road, no relief can be granted, as has been sought in the present writ application.

¶23

This writ application is accordingly dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to move before the competent authority, which may be available to him, in accordance with law.
