ORDER
R. DEVDAS J., (ORAL):
Petitioners are seeking a direction in the nature of Writ of Mandamus to the respondent-Special Land Acquisition Officer, (for short, hereinafter referred to as 'SLAO') to consider the representations dated 11.01.2022 and 09.02.2022 given by the petitioners and more particularly, to consider the guidelines dated 11.06.2019 issued by the National Highways Authority of India, in the matter of securing valuation of assets.
2. However, during the course of proceedings, it appears that the SLAO has proceeded to pass award on 19.05.2022 which is filed along with statement of objections as Annexure-R1.
3. In that view of the matter, now that the award has already been passed, if the petitioners are aggrieved, they are required to approach the 4 Arbitrator appointed by the Central Government in terms of sub-section (5) of Section 3G of the National Highways Act, 1956.
With these observations, the writ petition stands disposed of.
