This query is : Resolved
Scenario:
1. The interested person does not agree to the acquisition
2. The LAO deposits the award money in the court.
3. The interested person alienates for a sum of money his notified land by registered sale to another person who is unaware of the LA proceedings pending behind the land.
4. The matter goes to court, the judge declares the alienation as void and the purchaser is deprived of his land by eviction without any compensation.
5. The acquiring authority takes possession of the land.
6.At this point, the original notified person has got his money for the land he sold, and the LAO got his land for the money he deposited in court but the purchaser has neither got his money paid to the vendor nor got the land sold to him by the vendor,
How does law consider this as justice or even as a matter of logic?
In this situation what happens to the money deposited with the court?
What is the legal prescription/status for such unclaimed award money?
In the last 116 years of the existence of the LA Act 1894, how such unclaimed awards have been dealt by the courts in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar and Sri Lanka?

File a case of fraud ,cheating & other provisions of IPC.
File a case for damages under civil laws.
Both should be pursued simultaneously.
