Mr.D.R.Kawale i/b Manoj Wadekar & Associates, for the Petitioner. Ms.P.S.Cardozo, AGP, for the Respondent Nos.1 to 3/State. .......... CORAM : S.C.DHARMADHIKARI, J. Date : 21st June, 2011. P.C.: 1 Heard the learned counsel appearing for the Petitioner and the learned AGP appearing for the Respondents. The Petitioner has challenged the order dated 05.12.2009 passed by the Collector, Sangli rejecting the request of the Petitioner for deletion of the Petitioner’s land from acquisition. 2 The application filed before the Collector invokes the power under Section 48(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894. However, the Collector was pleased to reject the application on the ground that the land of the Petitioner was acquired for the purpose of resettlement of the project affected persons. After following due process of law, the land has been acquired and the possession thereof has been taken on 29.01.2008. The copy of possession receipt is also annexed to the affidavit-in-reply filed by the Deputy Collector, Land Acquisition No.12 (Krishna Khore), Sangli. In the light of the contents of this affidavit, it is clear that the land has vested in the State Government and the Petitioner has lost right, title *2* wp.2601.10.918.sxw and interest therein. 3 In such circumstances, neither the request to withdraw the land from acquisition nor for calculation and redetermination of the slab, can now be considered. The Writ Petition is devoid of any merit and is, accordingly, dismissed. No costs. (S.C. Dharmadhikari, J)
