ORDER
Dated this the 31st day of May, 2022 This review petition is filed pointing out that subsequent to the judgment of this Court, the Government has preferred Land Acquisition Appeals challenging the awards which are sought to be executed by the original petitioner. It is submitted that in connected appeals, this court has stayed the execution, subject to the Government depositing 50% of the compensation amount, with proportionate interest and cost, before the Authority within 60 days. The claimant has also been given the liberty to move the Authority for withdrawal of the deposited amount in accordance with law.
2. Learned Government Pleader points out that, since this court has stipulated a time limit for disposal of the execution petition, appeal in this case has not been brought up for consideration. It is submitted that it would be beneficial for the claimant also, if an order, as in the other appeals, is passed in his case. RP NO. 347 OF 2022 3
3. There is substantial merit in the submission. The State having preferred appeals against the awards, for the executionof which time limit is stipulated in these original petitions, I deem it appropriate to review the judgment, particularly in view of the fact that, while admitting the appeals and granting stay, this court is directing payment of 50% of the compensation amount.
In that view of the matter, the review petition is allowed and the judgment is recalled.
