IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA LPA No.166 of 2010 HARI PRAKASH SINGH S/O Badsah Singh R/O-Vill-Chainpatti P.S.+Distt-Gopalganj. Versus 1.THE STATE OF BIHAR 2.The Collector,Gopalganj. 3.The Land Acquisition Officer, Gopalganj. ----------- 2 29/1/2010 I.A. No.809 of 2010. This is an application for condonation of delay of 327 days in filing the appeal. We have heard Mr. Umakant Shukla, learned counsel for the appellant and Mr. Siddhertha Prasad, learned counsel for the State. Mr. Prasad has no objection in condoning the delay. Accordingly, the delay in filing the appeal is condoned. L.P.A. No.166 of 2010. As we have condoned delay, we are inclined to take up the appeal for admission. In this appeal assail is to the order dated 27.1.2009 whereby the learned Single Judge has declined to interfere in the writ petition and further has not granted any relief to the petitioner who had basically 2 prayed in the writ Court that his land situate in Village- Banjari, P.S. No.46 and Village-Chainpatt, P.S. No.47 in the district of Gopalganj should not be acquired as parti land. On the perusal of the averments in the writ petition in detail and the order passed by the learned Single Judge, we find that there is no challenge to the notification issued under section 17 (1) read with section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act. What has been assailed is that there are better places for establishment of the police station. Additionally it is also noticeable that the learned Single Judge had adverted to the concept of emergency and the scope of judicial review in such a matters placing reliance on the decision referred in the case of ‘Land Acquisition Collector v. Nirodhi Prakash Gangoli’ reported in AIR 2002 SC 1314 and dismissed the writ petition. In our considered opinion the reasons assigned by the learned Single Judge are absolutely justified and there is no warrant to interfere in the order and accordingly we concur with the same. 3 In the result, the L.P.A. being devoid of any merit stands dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. (Dipak Misra, C.J.) Abhay Kumar ( Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
