Holding
The interlocutory application was dismissed for non‑compliance with the peremptory order.
Summary
The petitioner, Ramroop Goswami, filed a civil writ petition seeking compensation at the prevailing rate with interest for his raiyati land acquired for the Tilwaria Dam under Land Acquisition Case No.10/86-87, which has been pending for a long time. The petition was filed against the State of Bihar and several officials involved in the acquisition process. During the hearing on 19-01-2026, the court noted that an interlocutory application filed on 13-10-2025 was required to be filed within six weeks, but the petitioner failed to comply with the peremptory order. Consequently, the court dismissed the interlocutory application on 24-11-2025. The judge then perused the case file and consigned the matter for further consideration.
