THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. THE UNDER SECRETARY ,REVENUE & LAND REFORMS DEPARTMENT, (LAND ACQUISITION) PATNA 3. THE SECRETARY, IRRIGATION DEPARTMENT ,GOVT. OF BIHAR, PATNA 4. THE COLLECTOR, BHAGALPUR 5. THE SPECIAL LAND ACQUISITION OFFICER, MADHYAN SINCHAI PARIYOJNA,BHAGALPUR. --------RESPONDENTS ----------- 3 15.9.2010 The petitioner is aggrieved by the fact that his land has been acquired on a requisition filed on behalf of the Irrigation Department. The Executive Engineer – cum - Requisitioning Authority, Project Aateshwar Asthan Ganga Pump Nahar Charan I Branch Canal had prepared a map sometime in the year 1989 for construction of a canal. The Project could not start and when finally the Authorities decided to build the canal, they found that certain structures such as a school has been built on the proposed site , it was ,therefore, necessary to re-measure and re-align the canal. After re-measurement and preparation of a map, the land acquisition proceedings started and the compensation amount has already been deposited with the competent authority to be paid to the land holders. As far as the land of the petitioner is concerned, it has been described as a land consisting of trees etc. This plot of land as per affidavit of the State was to be acquired, as it was part of the earlier plan/map for acquisition of land. Therefore, the allegation of the petitioner that the alignment has been changed 2 due to extraneous considerations does not seem to be correct. The petitioner is required to receive the compensation amount by presenting himself before the competent authority. In the circumstances stated aforesaid, I find no merit in this writ application, it is accordingly dismissed. The petitioner may file representation before the competent authority if he has any grievances, who will consider the same and dispose it of in accordance with law. This Court cannot pass any positive order in favour of the petitioner. Sanjay ( Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
