ORDER

The case of the petitioners, precisely as per the writ affidavit, is that they are small and marginal farmers dependent on their lands for livelihood, and they first became aware of the proposed acquisition only in March 2023, when a public award enquiry notice was placed in the Gram Panchayat office. Following this notice, survey teams began marking their lands, and despite approaching authorities for clarification, no copies of earlier notifications were furnished. As survey activities intensified during April and May 2023, allegedly damaging standing crops, some petitioners approached this Court in W.P. No. 13384 of 2023. At that stage, they were informed that mandatory environmental clearance had not been obtained. Taking this into account, the Court granted an interim stay on dispossession in May 2023. Subsequently, during the pendency of that case, the authorities secured environmental clearance in July 2023
