The Award is passed and Compensation is offered to the persons enttield to or diposted in Court along with a Reference u/s 30 of LA Act , the same are not in detail ,

However Once the Land acquisition award is passsed and Possession is taken over by the LAO , the acquisition is completed, even though the dispute u/s30 is pending for long period . Since 20 years the Land acquisition Proceedigns are not challneged now it is difficult to challnage the same .

If the Land is not used for the purpose for which it is acquired ,the land Owner has a right to claim back the Land from the Authorities by re-payment of the Compensation with interest, if paid to land Owner .
