Mr.Gujar, learned counsel for the petitioner has approached this court challenging the order dated 4.12.2008 whereby the petitioner’s application for accepting alternate land by the Government has been rejected. The petitioner’s land has been acquired by the Government for project affected persons after completing all the procedure of the acquisition. The award was published in 2007 and the land was taken possession on 31.7.2007. Thereafter the petitioner has made application for offering alternate land, the same has also been considered and rejected by the impugned order. The acquired land has already vested in the Government since the possession of the land has been taken by the Government. Even in respect of alternate land the Government have found that the alternate land is not suitable and, therefore, the Government have rejected the proposal. The petition suffers from delay, laches etc. and also the petitioner do not have right so as to give any direction to the State Government to accept the alternate land. The writ of mandamus cannot be issued. The petition is rejected. No liberty is granted. (D.B.BHOSALE, J.) (S.B.MHASE, J.) (D.B.BHOSALE, J.) (S.B.MHASE, J.) (D.B.BHOSALE, J.) (S.B.MHASE, J.)
