(OPEN COURT)

WP(C)No. 4199/2019 & WP (C) No. 3502/2019

Grievance of the petitioners in both the petitions, as urged at the time of hearing, appears to be that land belonging to the petitioners was acquired. However, compensation was paid only in regard to certain parcels while denying such compensation in regard to other parcels of land.

In view of the ratio of the Apex Court judgment in Municipal Corporation of Greater Bombay v. The Industrial Development Investment Co. Pvt. Ltd., and others, AIR 1997 SC 482, which clearly holds that writ jurisdiction will not be exercised post the passing of the award, we do not deem it appropriate to exercise writ jurisdiction in the present petitions, leaving the petitioners free to avail such other remedies as are available in accordance with the provisions of Land Acquisition Act.

Disposed of accordingly.

                            (Mohan Lal )                 (Dhiraj Singh Thakur)
