RANJANA DESAI & RANJIT MORE, JJ. DATED : 21st JUNE, 2011. P.C.: The petitioners have challenged the notification under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. In our opinion, the petitions are premature. The petitioners can raise all objections including the objection that their land does not fall in benefited zone and that their individual holding is less than the minimum slab prescribed under the provisions of the Maharashtra Project Affected Persons Rehabilitation Act in the inquiry under Section 5-A of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. In view of the above, the petitions are dismissed. (RANJIT MORE, J.) (SMT. RANJANA DESAI, J.)
