.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

            It is a case of the petitioners that the subject Award is backdated and has been filed once the proceedings commenced in this case. Petitioners submit that the respondents are in possession of excess land than acquired by way of an Award.

            Mr. Shahani replied that insofar as the excess land i.e. above 03 acres and 12 ghuntas is concerned, they may pursue their remedy before the Civil Court having jurisdiction, if the respondents claimed to have been sitting over an excess land. Learned AAG further submits that the amount in respect of 03 acres and 12 ghuntas of land has already been deposited with the Land Acquisition Officer, and the petitioners may claim such compensation and pursue the remedy before the concerned forum where the amount is lying.

            In view of above facts and circumstances, the petitioners may pursue their remedy before Land Acquisition Officer, with whom it is claimed that the amount has been deposited. Such application, if filed, be decided in accordance with law including objections relating to limitation. Further insofar as excess land is concerned which claimed to have been in possession without any justification, the petitioners may pursue their remedy before Court having jurisdiction.

            The petition stands disposed of along with the listed application.
