Direction to Deposit Award Amount - Courts generally direct that compensation awarded in land acquisition cases be deposited into the Civil Court or designated Court as per statutory provisions, primarily under Section 31(2) of the Land Acquisition Act. Such directions ensure proper custody and disbursement of funds to rightful owners.
