**📅 Timeline of Legal Developments:**

* **2007:** 32 bighas identified in Numalijalah as compensation.
* **2016:** High Court ordered finalization of the allotment within three months.
* **2018:** A four-member committee recommended allotting the same 32 bighas.

**📉 Current Status (as of 2025):**

* The proposed 32 bighas was *reduced* to 21 bighas 4 kathas 8.2 lechas.
* Even this reduced land was allotted to another party.
* The court has directed the Deputy Commissioner to identify *new* land.
* **No fresh allotment has been made to date.**

* **17 Feb 2025:** Additional 3 weeks requested.
