Dispute is with regard to a piece of land said to be possessed by the petitioner, which originally forms part of the “Charagah” land. Subsequently, however, this land came in the urbanization limits of the Municipal Board, Chittorgarh and was, accordingly, placed at its disposal by the Government in accordance with the provisions of Section 102-A of the Land Acquisition Act, 1956 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act of 2 1956'). The learned counsel, appearing for the respondent- Municipality, while referring to para 4 of the reply filed by the Municipality, submits that though the petitioner deposited a sum of Rs.67,000/-, but, in case the petitioner is interested in getting the disputed land regularized in her name, she has to pay the present market value of the land, as decided by the District Level Committee as per Rule 14 of the Rajasthan Urban Improvement Trust (Disposal of Urban Land) Rules, 1974 (for short, 'the Rules of 1974'). Learned counsel for the petitioner, thereupon submits that the petitioner may be given liberty to apply to the respondent- Municipal Board for regularization of the aforesaid land in her favour as per the stand of the Municipality before this Court. In the circumstances, the petitioner is set at liberty to approach the Municipal Board, Chittorgarh, by making a suitable application/representation for regularization of her possession over the disputed land and, upon doing so, the Municipal Board, Chittorgarh is expected to do the needful, as per their aforesaid stand, in accordance with law.
