Train in return for compensation of land

Two farmers of Una district, which is in Himachal Pradesh, may become the owner of Delhi – Una Janshatabdi Express, if court order will be executed on April 16, 2015.

Additional district and sessions judge Mukesh Bansal, associated with court of Una ordered on April 9 to attach the Delhi – Una Janshatabdi, if railway is not able to pay the compensation for two different farmers, as there land was acquired for new railway track which is also known as; Una – Amb track in the year 1998.

However Lal is entitled for Rs 26.53 lakh and Ram is entitled for Rs 8.91 lakh and after not receiving the money Lal and Ram moved to court against the delay in compensation and after that Himachal Pradesh HC directed to railways in 2013 to pay the money within next six weeks.

As per the statement of Advocate Arun Kumar Saini, who represented the side of farmers, Railways had acquired the land in year 1998, and due to late in compensation two farmers filed a case for higher compensation. The court had given the time of three months to railways for filing an appeal against the compensation and verdict. In the response railways moved the HC in 2013 and HC stayed the order with response to increase the compensation and deposited in the court within next six weeks. But still railways haven’t deposited the current amount.

We would submit the list of four trains, Janshatabdi and Himachal Express and court moved with decision to attach the Janshatabdi.
