THE STATE OF BIHAR, THROUGH THE COLLECTOR, VAISHALI. 2. THE SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE, VAISHALI AT HAJIPUR 3. THE LAND ACQUISITION OFFICER, VAISHALI AT HAJIPUR 4. THE CIRCLE OFFICER, RAJA PAKAR ANCHAL, VAISHALI ---- RESPONDENTS ----------- 7 19.7.2010 The petitioner is the owner of Khata No. 881, Plot No. 12377 and 12378 situated in Raja Pakar in the district of Vaishali as per his claim based on the Khatiyan. The petitioner had to come to this Court while he was making permanent alterations in his house. The police at Raja Pakar stopped the petitioner from making alterations on the ground that the lands would be required for extending the road and the authorities are contemplating initiation of a Land Acquisition Proceeding. Counsel for the State submits that the petitioner has his Phus house on the said plot of land and it is indeed true that a road is to be constructed in the area. At the moment the State is not in a position to give details with respect to the lands which would come under the acquisition proceeding. The petitioner is now aware of the fact that the acquisition proceeding is likely to be initiated around the area where the petitioner lives. If the petitioner wishes to make any alteration on the land, he would be free to do so at his own risk. It is also made clear that the land of the petitioner is required for the extension/broadening of the road, the authorities concerned will take 2 appropriate steps for acquiring the lands in question and not dispossess the petitioner without any acquisition proceedings. This application is disposed of with the aforesaid observations. Sanjay (Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
