KANTI MAHANTY ROHINI Vs. THE STATE OF JHARKHAND

JUDGEMENT

(1.) I.A. No. 4766 of 2014

(2.) Mr. Jai Prakash, the learned AAG submitted that the land in question was acquired in the year, 1983 itself and the petitioners have admitted that the compensation amount was deposited in treasury. After all these years the petitioners now have challenged the acquisition. Basing their claim through letter dated 13.9.2007, they have moved this Court seeking release of their land. It is submitted that insofar, as Title Suit No. 25 of 2011 is concerned, it was primarily filed in view of the subsequent transfer made by the petitioner No. 1 in favour of petitioner No. 2, and that was the reason a declaration was sought from the Court with respect to validity of the acquisition and title in favour of the State.

(3.) I have carefully considered the submissions made by the counsel appearing for the parties and perused the documents on record.
