Order No.
02. 1. This matter is taken up through hybrid mode.
2. The Petitioner in this writ petition seeks to assail the
judgment dated 28th March, 2025 (Annexure-2) passed by
learned Civil Judge (Senior Division), Jajpur Road, Jajpur in
L.A.R. Case No.16 of 2016.
3. Mr. Das, learned Counsel for the Petitioner submits that the
Petitioner being a beneficiary of land acquisition and a person
interested was not served with any notice before passing of the
award under Section 11 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for
brevity “the Act”) or during adjudication of the reference under
Section 18 of the Act being L.A.R. Case No.16 of 2016. It is his
submission that by virtue of the impugned judgment under
Annexure-2, the award passed under Section 11 of the Act was
enhanced unreasonably. Hence, the Petitioner has a say in the
matter. It is, however, submitted that the judgment passed in
L.A.R. Case No.16 of 2016 was not challenged in appeal under
Section 54 of the Act by either parties to the said reference.
