By this petition, the petitioner challenges the compulsory acquisition of his land for a public road. The only objection that appears to have been raised is that there is already existing road - 30’ to 40’ away from the petitioner’s land and therefore, it is not necessary to acquire petitioner’s land. There are no documents produced to show that thee is any existing road - 30’ to 40’ away from the petitioner’s land. In the absence of any material or malice alleged against any Officer, this Court will not be justified to interfere and set aside the Notification issued by the Government. It is possible that the existing road may not be sufficient. Taking overall view of the matter therefore, we find no substance in the petition. Petition is rejected. . Parties to act on the copy of this order duly authenticated by the Sheristedar / Private Secretary of the Court. . Certified copy expedited. ( D.K. DESHMUKH J.) ( V.M. KANADE J.)
