Abdur Rahaman. Vs. State of West Bengal.

Court: Kolkata Appellate

Decided on: Mar-29-2011

1. This application is at the instance of the referring claimant and is directed against the order no.86 dated June 21, 2007 passed by the learned Special Land Acquisition Judge, First Court, Alipore in L.R.A. Case No.159 of 1979 (v) thereby rejecting an application dated December 12, 2005. 2. The short fact is that certain plots of the referring claimant were acquisitioned by the Stated Government and compensation was awarded. Subsequently, by filing an application under Section 151 of the C.P.C. the referring claimant claimed enhancement of the compensation and that prayer was rejected. 3. Being aggrieved, this application has been preferred. Now the point for consideration is whether the impugned order could be sustained. 4. Upon hearing the submission of the learned Advocate for the petitioner and on perusal of the materials on record, I find that on the basis of the notification dated February 6, 1973 the possession of the lands in question of the referring claimant was taken by t...
