1 S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 4970/2007. (CHANDANMAL & ORS. VS. STATE & ORS.) DATE OF ORDER : 17.08.2007. HON'BLE MR. GOVIND MATHUR, J. Mr. L.K. Purohit for the petitioners. The Government of Rajasthan under a notification dated 21.04.2007, while exercising powers under sub-section (1) of Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, shown its intention to acquire certain land for public purpose for installing a toll plaza on Phaloti to Ramji ki Gole Main Road. In pursuant to the notification dated 21.04.2007, according to the petitioners, certain objections were raised pointing out that installing of toll plaza is not a public purpose. An another notification, thereafter was issued on 29.06.2007, wherein the public purpose was modified and with the installation of toll plaza for public purpose, for development and expansion of road from Phalodi to Ramji ki Goal was also introduced. The contention of counsel for the petitioners, while giving challenge to the notifications referred above, is that by acquiring agriculture land, the respondent State wants to give certain additional benefits to the respondent No.4 i.e. a Company 2 incorporated under the Companies Act and thus, it is not a public purpose. I do not find any substance in the contentions so raised. Essentially, it is within the domain of the Government to decide what is public purpose and what is not. In the present matter, the land is sought to be acquired for installing a toll plaza for development and expansion of road. Such kind of work is certainly a public purpose, thus, the petition for writ is having no merit. Accordingly, the same is dismissed. (GOVIND MATHUR)J. Anil/
