To streamline the massive litigations in land acquisition related issues, NHAI, on April 25, 2024, issued a policy circular which provides SOP for the land arbitration and court cases. In the SOP, various modules have been developed on the ‘Datalake' portal specifically to deal with land acquisition litigations. The portal/modules enable the users to do the following:
- empanelment of advocates (individual or firm) by RO, NHAI for land arbitration;
- allocation of arbitration/court cases by PIU and approval of advocate at RO level;
- filling in basic details of the cases by advocates, such as type of issue, date of notice, master case number, hearing status of the case;
- raising of bills by advocates for payment against their services in the arbitration/court matter by submitting invoice through the portal;
- generation of different case reports by PIUs/ROs/HQ for monitoring purposes; and 6. accessing repository of orders passed by the courts for referencing.
These modules have been in effect from April 26, 2024, and the processing of all activities listed above, and other ancillary activities provided in the SOP related to land acquisition arbitration and court cases will have to be mandatorily done through the portal.
