The defendants proposed the acquisition of land in which appellant’s land was
included for development purposes.
The Appellants made an application for permission to use the acquired land for group
housing.
The defendants released the lands of others but not the appellants.
CONCRETE DECISION
In the result, the appeals are allowed, the impugned order is set aside and the
declaration issued by the State Government under Section 6(1) is quashed. However, it
is made clear that this judgment shall not preclude the State Government from taking
fresh decision after objectively considering the objections filed by the Appellants under
Section 5-A(1).
RATIO DECIDENDI
Rules of natural justice have been ingrained with view to ensure that before any person is
deprived of his land by way of compulsory acquisition, he must get an opportunity to oppose
the decision of the authorities to acquire the particular parcel of land.
