The Circle Officer, Ghorasahan, East Champaran, Motihari – Respondents. 2 7.7.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the counsel appearing on behalf of the State. The petitioners are aggrieved by the order whereby the land holder has accepted the fact that the lands may be acquired and he may be given compensation. The petitioner is the purchaser from the land holder and, therefore, it is required that notice ought to be given to him as well. The Land Acquisition Officer, Motihari is directed to entertain the objection filed by the petitioners to the notification under sections 4 and 6 of the Land Acquisition Act. If the petitioners are found to be holding a valid sale deed with respect to the lands which are to be acquired, they would come within the meaning of persons “interested in any land”. The objection has to be filed under section 5(A) of the act by the petitioners before the Collector of the district and the Collector must pass an appropriate order after issuing notice to the land holder within a period of one month from the date of filing of the objection. The objection will be filed within three weeks from today. This writ petition is disposed of with the aforesaid observations. haque (Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
