Meena Sukumaran vs The Special Tahsildar on 29 October, 2020
(c) The Division Bench while confirming the order in the above writ
petition quashing the same land acquisition proceedings in respect of other
land owners has given liberty to issue fresh proceedings, if needed. But the
respondents have not only initiated fresh proceedings but also gone one step
further to drop the proceedings even for the land owners who got stay of the
acquisition proceedings. Though the petitioners also do have the benefit of
stay, the Land Acquisition Proceedings are not dropped. The act of the
respondents thus is violative of Arts.14, 19(1), 21 and 300A of the
Constitution of India in view of the law laid down by the Hon’ble Apex
Court in the case of Hari Ram and another Vs. State of Haryana and
others reported in (2010) 3 SCC 621 and Radhy Shyam (Dead) through
LRS.
