IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA WRIT PETITION NO. 133 OF 2011 SHRI. VINOD CHANDRA VELJI SHAH AND 20 ORS., ... Petitioners Versus STATE OF GOA THROUGH CHIEF SECRETARY AND 2 ORS., ... Respondents Mr. P. P. Singh, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. S. S. Kantak, Advocate General with Mr. A. Kamat, Addl. Govt. Advocate for the respondents. Coram:- S. C. DHARMADHIKARI & F. M. REIS, JJ. Date:- 14th March, 2011 P.C.:- This writ petition, under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, challenges an award dated 11th May, 2010. 2. The land, in question, has been acquired for the Government Village School Playground for the benefits of the students and non-students community. 3. The grievance made by the petitioners firstly that they had no notices of the acquisition proceedings and secondly that the land, out of which some portion has been purchased by the predecessor-in-title of the petitioners in a sale held by the Official Liquidator, is having all facilities and in fact was used for residential purpose. Our attention is invited to the award, particularly para 17 thereof and it is contended that there is one plot of land which is 1 km. away from the land under acquisition and the facilities like electricity, road, water, telephone, etc., are available. 4. As far as there is no notice of acquisition is concerned, in the petition itself the petitioners have averred that respondent No.2 had issued a notice and it was sent back with the postal remark/endorsement "unclaimed". Respondent No.2 treated this as a good service and we cannot go into the disputed questions of facts and if the petitioners are aggrieved by the fact that the compensation is inadequate, and the land acquisition was not notified to them by their predecessors-in-title, nothing prevents them from availing of such remedy as available in law and agitate their grievances raised in this petition. Even if the compensation is inadequate, nothing prevents them from availing of such a remedy available in law and raise all contentions therein. This writ petition is disposed of. S. C. DHARMADHIKARI, J. F. M. REIS, J. ssm.
