Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation And Resettlement Act, 2013 (hereinafter referred to as “Act, 2013”) with regard to determination of nature and category of land and in spite of the representation filed by the similarly situated persons and the petitioners on 31.05.2025, has erroneously calculated the Award without giving opportunity to the petitioners and has also issued Award notice under Section 37(2) of the Act, 2013 along with a detailed Award in favour of the petitioner nos. 2 to 5 on 17.07.2025. Petitioners are aggrieved by the illegal fixation of the Award on the basis of the nature of the land as mentioned in Khatiyan and the sale deed of the petitioners and similarly situated persons. Learned counsel submitted that in course of time, the nature of land has changed. The petitioner has purchased the said land for amount of Rs. 20 lacs by depositing required stamp duty to the government. The petitioners have claimed that they are entitled for higher compensation at the existing MVR in the area. Petitioners have been able to bring on record the value of the land by way of registered sale deed and on the basis of the MVR determined by the State Government, they have made payment of required stamp duty.
