1 S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 4540/2007 Sajid Mohd & Ors. Vs. State of Rajasthan & Ors. DATE OF ORDER :: 1.8.2007 HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE GOVIND MATHUR Mr. R.K. Soni for Mr. I.R. Choudhary, for the petitioner. .... By this petition for writ the petitioner has assailed validity of the notification issued by the Government of Rajasthan under Section 6 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 and also an order of the Land Acquisition Officer dated 27.9.2006 deciding the objections submitted by the petitioner in pursuant to the notice under Section 5A of the Act of 1894. While assailing validity of the notification and order impugned the contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that the Land Acquisition Officer failed to appreciate that the development of green- belt can very well be made by the petitioner himself on the land in question whereas there are all chances of not being utilized land as green belt by the Hindustan Zink Ltd. i.e. an industrial establishment. I do not find any substance in the contention so raised. Hindustan Zink Ltd. is a known industrial establishment and while developing its industry it is statutorily required to develop a green belt 2 with a view to maintain equilibrium of environment and ecology. The doubt created by the petitioner that Hindustan Zink Ltd may not develop required green belt is absolutely ill-founded. I also do not find any substance in the contention that the petitioner himself may raise green belt in the area in question. The land is acquired by the Government of Rajasthan for development of green belt by Hindustan Zink Ltd on a huge chunk of land. In entire land so acquired a uniform and scientific development of forest is necessary. Such development cannot be made by the petitioner only on his part of land. Beside that this cannot be a reason to quash land acquisition proceedings. For the reasons mentioned above the writ petition is dismissed. (GOVIND MATHUR ),J. jgoyal
