                           C.A.No.5422 of 2017

                   (Kurian Joseph and R.Banumathi,JJ.,)

                           18.04.2017

                           JUDGMENT

Kurian Joseph,J.,

SLP(Civil)No.3828 of 2017

1. Leave granted.

2. Despite findings regarding lapse party-respondents have submitted that since the land has
been utilized for a public purpose, they would be satisfied with compensation worked out
under The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation
and Resettlement Act, 2013.

3. Admittedly, no compensation has been paid either to the original owner(s) or to the
alleged subsequent purchaser(s). Therefore, this case is covered by Delhi Development
Authority Vs. Sukhbir Singh & Ors. Reported in1.

4. The only direction issued by the High Court, however, in the peculiar facts of the case, is
to work out the compensation under the 2013 Act and disburse the same within the stipulated
time.

5. We see no reason to interfere with the just order passed by the High Court on the fair
submission made by the respondents. The appeal is, hence, dismissed. The appellant is
granted six months' time to work out the compensation and disburse the same in terms of
the impugned order.

6. No costs.

Judgment Referred.                                               SpotLaw
