The State of Maharashtra and others. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Office Notes, office Memoranda of Coram Court's or Judge's appearances, Court's orders or directions order and Registrar's order. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= CORAM: D.D.SINHA and C.L.PANGARKAR,JJ. DATE : 20th June, 2008. 1. Heard Mr.Khobragade, Advocate for the for the petitioner. 2. The grievance of the petitioner in the present writ petition is that the respondents are trying to construct canal through the fertile agriculture field and this is not in the interest of the general public at large, since there are other fallow lands available for construction of the canal in question. 3. It is well settled that the State Government cannot deprive the people of their 2 lands unless it follow the due procedure of law; that means the land needs to be acquired under the provisions of Act or Rules applicable in this regard. It is always open for the persons, who are affected, to raise objections at the appropriate stage. However, in the instant case, the leaned counsel for the petitioner is not aware whether the field through which the canal is likely to be constructed, is already acquired or under the process of acquisition or whether likely to be affected because of the said acquisition. Hence, it is difficult for us to show any indulgence at this stage. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. JUDGE JUDGE. chute
