Land was acquired and award was passed the matter wAs referred to civil court. The court enhanced the compensation. The matter was carried in appeal however the same was dismissed the order of the lower court has become final. In the mean some third parties claiming to be owners obtained a decree against the corporation who acquired the land that. They are the absolute owners of the land against which appeal is also pending. In the mean time original claimants have preferred ep and the was ordered. Unfortunately in none of the proceedings before the court the claim of the third parties is brought to the notice of the execution court. Now the apprehension of the corporation is that if the amount is paid as per the orders in ep to the claimants if tomorrow these third parties claim the said amount they will have to pay double the amount for the land acquired. In this situation is it advisable to give a notice to the third parties that we are paying the compensation to the claimants.
