This judgment in the centre: on the left the decisions it cites, on the right the decisions citing it. Colour is the treatment; choose a decision to open it.
1. None present for the petitioner.
2. Mr. V.D. Bisen, learned Additional C.S.C. for the State of Uttarakhand.
3. Mr. Raunak Pant, Advocate holding brief of Mr. Naresh Pant, learned counsel for the respondent-NHAI.
4. Petitioner’s land was acquired for construction of National Highway by invoking National Highways Act, 1956. Competent Authority Land Acquisition determined the amount payable as compensation to the petitioner.
5. Petitioner is dissatisfied with that determination, therefore, he has approached this Court challenging the order passed by Competent Authority Land Acquisition on 16.01.2018.
6. From the pleadings made in the writ petition, it is revealed that there are other co-sharers in the property of the petitioner, therefore, petitioner has sought a direction that the entire compensation be released in his favour.
7. Such a relief cannot be granted in a
UKHC010011542018
2026:UHC:7097 writ petition, as the question of apportionment can be decided only by Principal Civil Judge under Section 3H(4) of the National Highways Act.
8. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with liberty to petitioner to approach the appropriate forum.
