AHMEDABAD: The land acquisition process for the bold bullet teach venture is lately going through its first felony hurdle, with farmers from Surat district drawing near the Gujarat excessive courtroom on Thursday.
After the state executive issued a notification to procure land for the high-speed rail venture, the landowners, who are likely to be suffering from the acquisition process, have puzzled the validity of the notification. The petitioners contended that the notification issued by means of Gujarat executive will have to be quashed and the Centre will have to be asked to start out the method afresh.
A bench headed by means of the manager justice has asked the state executive to show whether or not it is the competent authority to procure land for the bullet teach venture.
Appearing for the petitioners, recommend Anand Yagnik submitted that the 508-km Ahmedabad to Mumbai bullet teach venture is being carried out by means of a central company – National High Speed Rail Corporation Ltd (NHSRCL). The land is being bought in two different states. The Gujarat executive has issued notification for land acquisition, though the imposing company is the central executive.
Terming the venture as “self-importance”, the petitioners have puzzled the state executive’s energy to procure land for the Centre’s venture in absence of any delegation of powers from the central executive.
Another side of the notification that has been challenged is the alleged bypassing of the land acquisition process within the 2013 amended rules, through which the consent of the venture affected other folks is needed to be bought via a properly laid down process.
If the Centre is the imposing authority, the federal government has to undertake social impact overview and be offering a rehabilitation and resettlement venture earlier than starting up the land acquisition. The provisions of the land acquisition rules of 2013 are absent within the notification, and hence it is required to be quashed, the legal professional argued.
The third objection raised in opposition to the acquisition process is the compensation amount that has been proposed within the notification, is according to jantri or ready reckoner of 2011. The Centre’s amended land acquisition rules stipulate compensation after upgrading and revising the market value of land. The petitioners submitted that the jantri charges have now not been fixed after 2011.
After preliminary listening to, the bench headed by means of Chief Justice R S Reddy commented, “The sole function of the brand new act is to give you the very best market value to farmers from whom you (the federal government) are to procure the land and therefore it's a must to improve and revise the jantri.” The HC has posted further listening to at the matter on Monday.
