Present: - Mr. Aalok Jagga, Advocate, for the petitioner. RAJESH BINDAL, J.
The grievance of the petitioner is that though part of the land owned by the petitioner was acquired, however, compensation has not been paid for the entire land, the possession of which has been taken. The possession in fact has been taken of 635 sq. yds. of land whereas compensation has been paid only for 576 sq. yds. Learned counsel further submitted that while making payment of compensation 10% of amount has been withheld to be paid after clarification from the Income Tax Department regarding deduction of tax at source. Interest on delayed payment has also not been paid. A detailed representation has been made to respondent No.3 for the purpose. As the delay in disposal thereof will effect the petitioner, he has approached this Court. He will not be able to take benefit of the amount of tax, if deducted by the authority under the Income Tax Act, unless TDS certificate is issued to the petitioner before the petitioner files the return.
