ORDER : M.R. SHAH, J. 1. It is very unfortunate that though the applications for re-determination of amount of compensation under Section 28A of the Right to Fair Compensation & Transparancy under Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Re-settlement Act, 2013 [“the Act” for short] are pending since last two years, neither the same are decided and disposed of by the Special Land Acquisition Officer/Collector nor the claimants are intimated the reasons for not deciding their applications. 2. It is the case on behalf of the respondents that against the judgment and award passed by the Reference Court under Section 18 of the Act which has been relied upon for re-determination of the compensation under Section 28A of the Act, proposals/applications are kept pending. It is after approximately three years are passed, after the judgment and award passed by the Reference Court under Section 18 of the Act, even the concerned respondents are not even aware at what stage the proposals are pending. From the statement placed before us, it appears that number of such applications under Section 28 of the Act are pending with the respondent-authority for want of any further approval/ decision of the Legal Department to prefer Appeals or not. Even today also, the concerned respondents are not aware whether any final decision is taken to file appeals or not. Be that as it may, for number of years, applications under Section 28A of the Act cannot be kept pending. Even the same shall not be in the larger public interest and/or the Department and/or the Acquiring body, as for all these years, further liability to pay interest would be accrued. 3. Before any further order is passed, at the request of Shri. Hardik Vora, learned AGP appearing on behalf of the respondent-State, stand over to 5th September 2017.
