MAHUA, DISTRICT VAISHALI. ----------- 3/ 24.12.2009 Heard Mr. Girijanand Prasad learned counsel for the appellants and Mr. Pyus Lal, learned counsel for the State. In this letters patent appeal, preferred under Clause 10 of the Letters Patent, the justifiability of the order dated 24.02.2009 passed by the learned Single Judge in C.W.J.C. No. 12685 of 2007 is called in question. It is submitted by learned counsel for the appellants that the purpose which the land is acquired is not a public purpose and that apart the objections of the appellants have not been properly considered. Mr. Lal, learned counsel for the State, on the contrary, has supported the order of the learned Single Judge. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and upon perusal of the order passed by the learned Single - 2 - Judge, it is manifest that the acquisition of the land is for construction of a public road and in view of that there is no room for doubt that it is not for the public purpose. So far as objections of the appellants for construction of the road are concerned, they had been dealt with in 2004. In view of the aforesaid, we are of the considered opinion that the grievance as agitated is without any substance. Accordingly, the L.P.A., being sans merit, stands is dismissed without any order as to costs. ( Dipak Misra, CJ ) ( Shiva Kirti Singh, J ) BTiwary/
