(Judgment of the Court was delivered by T.S. Sivagnanam, CJ.)
1. This intra Court appeal at the instance of the respondents in WPA
13787 of 2023 is directed against the order dated 25.08.2023 passed in the
writ petition filed by the Indian Oil Corporation Limited (hereinafter referred
to as IOCL). The IOCL filed the writ petition challenging the reassessment of
compensation payable by them to the appellants for acquiring right of user
of the land of the appellants. The said writ petition was allowed by holding
that the Petroleum and Minerals Pipelines (Acquisition of Rights of User in
Land) Act, 1962 (hereinafter referred to as the 1962 Act) does not confer any
power of review or re-adjudication on the competent authority as defined
under Section 2(a) of the Act. The learned Single Bench further directed that
it will be open to the appellants to approach the concerned District Judge in
terms of Section 10(2) of the said Act. Aggrieved by such decision, the
appellants, the land owners/lease holders have filed the present appeal.
