Madhya Pradesh High Court:<\/span> In a writ petition filed under Article 226<\/a> of the Constitution of India<\/a> seeking a writ of mandamus directing the respondents to acquire the petitioner’s land pursuant to a notification dated 06-09-022 under the Coal Bearing Areas (Acquisition & Development) Act, 1957<\/a> (the Act), a single-judge bench of G.S. Ahluwalia, J., held that the petitioner’s land was lawfully excluded from acquisition under the Act due to legal and regulatory restrictions. The Court dismissed the petition on not finding any grounds for interference in the acquisition process.<\/p>\n

Brief Facts<\/p>\n

In the instant matter, a notification was issued in 2017 under Sections 4<\/a> and 7<\/a> of the Act<\/a> for acquiring 1367 hectares of land. However, a final notification under Section 9 was not issued. In 2020, a new notification under Section 4 was issued, reducing the area to be acquired, thereby excluding the petitioner’s land. The petitioner, who owns a hotel on the excluded land, filed the present writ petition seeking a writ of mandamus from court to direct the respondents to acquire the petitioner’s land pursuant to a notification dated 06.09.2022 under the Act.<\/p>\n

Parties’ Contentions<\/p>\n

The petitioner argued that the exclusion of their land from acquisition would make the land valueless and could lead to the collapse of the building due to nearby coal mining activities. The petitioner also contended that respondent’s exclusion of their land was arbitrary, thereby violating Articles 14<\/a> and 19<\/a> of the Constitution of India<\/a>, and sought for the land to be included in the acquisition. However, the respondents countered that the acquisition was based on expert reports and was limited by regulations such as the Coal Mines Regulations, 2017, which prohibit the acquisition of land within 45 meters of a railway line or highway. The respondents also argued that the petitioner’s claims were based on misapprehensions and that no legal or constitutional rights were violated.<\/p>\n

Moot Point<\/p>\n

Whether the exclusion of the petitioner’s land from the acquisition violates their fundamental rights under Articles 14<\/a> and 19<\/a> of the Constitution<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Whether the exclusion of land can be legally challenged when the final notification under Section 9<\/a> of the Act<\/a> has not been challenged?<\/p>\n

Court’s Analysis<\/p>\n

The Court noted that the petitioner’s claim that the entire surrounding area was acquired was incorrect, as the petitioner’s land was situated between a railway line and the buildings of Northern Coalfields Limited (NCL). The Court noted that the petitioner failed to demonstrate any violation of fundamental or constitutional rights due to such exclusion. The Court held that the exclusion of the petitioner’s land from the acquisition was justified based on expert recommendations and legal restrictions, including Regulation 119, which prohibits acquiring land within 45 meters of a railway or highway.<\/p>\n

“…where the acquisition of a land within the radius of 45 meters from Railway line as well as National Highway is prohibited, even on that ground, this Court cannot compel the respondents to acquire the land.”<\/p>\n

The Court also highlighted that the petitioner did not challenge the final notification under Section 9<\/a> of the Act<\/a>. The Court held that there was no legal basis to compel the respondents to acquire the petitioner’s land, as it was neither legally nor financially viable.<\/p>\n

Court’s Decision<\/p>\n

The Court dismissed the petition and held that no interference was warranted as no rights of the petitioner had been violated and the exclusion of the land from the acquisition was lawful.<\/p>\n
