1. Appellant is aggrieved by an order dated 16.05.2025, whereby the writ petition filed by the appellant has been dismissed on the ground that there is an alternative remedy of redressal against the award passed under the Right to Fair Compensation And Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013.

2. Petitioner is aggrieved by an award dated 28.11.2024 passed under the said Act and contends that the valuation has not been corrected and correct compensation has not been assessed.
