Land acquired

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 28 March 2024 This query is : Resolved
Hi.
My land has been acquired by the government. I have already submitted all the required documents but it has been a year that the district officer has not signed to transfer the money to my account. Whenever I go to ask them, their only reply is that the officer is busy in a meeting. You can imagine how much money I am losing.
If I hire a lawyer in my area maybe she/he can do a half/half setup with them and charge me.

Now I have decided to take a big action for them.

Which way i can take action against them? Or there is any faster way ?
RTI application , High Court, Order 37 of Court of civil procedure-summary suit or Complaint to Central Information Commission.

Please Advise me and save my time
Thanks

The best option is to send RTI application.

First you should submit a detail representation narrating the entire facts and issue to the concerned officer and take receipt of the same and wait for some time and even if the concerned the concerned officer will not do the needful then you should approach the concerned High Court by way of filing Writ Petition against the concerned District Officer whosoever.

How can you the lawyers set up half and half with them and charge you? May one or two like that we should not blame unnecessarily others as an elder I am saying this. First you shall send RTI application in the matter marking a copy to his higher authorities. If the circumstances permits you can file a WP.

You have the options to select the steps to be taken on your own or through an advocate.
If you have the orders sanctioning the compensation then you can approach high court directly for direction to the authorities concerned for making an expeditious disbursal of the sanctioned amount

You can approach high court with a writ petition seeking direction to the concerned authorities to make the settlement of compensation amount alternately you can approach the sub ordinate court with a suit for recovery of the compensation amount with interest but for that you may have to pay court fee, or if there is a land acquisition court you can file a case for direction to the authorities concerned to pay the compensation amount
