M/S. Jethmull Bhojraj vs State Of Bihar & Ors on 25 January, 1972
10. It was also contended that the alleged vesting of land in
the Government, based on earlier judgments of the High Court
in Writ Petitions No.8316 of 2008, 602 of 2001 and Writ Appeal
No.187 of 2007 arising out of Writ Petition No.8404 of 2005,
was also totally inconsequential vis-a-vis the appellants who
were not impleaded as parties to those proceedings. Any
judgments delivered in those writ petitions, applications for
direction or writ appeals, were therefore of little consequence.
Inasmuch as the High Court had relied upon the earlier orders
in the proceedings instituted by either party qua the survey
numbers, aforementioned, without appreciating that the
appellants were at no stage impleaded as parties to those
proceedings nor given an opportunity to defend their title, it
committed a mistake that is apparent on the face of the record.

It is also contended that the bona fides of the so called public
activist were also doubtful in the light of certain information
collected under the Right to Information Act that suggested
that the Trust which the writ petitioner was claiming to be
running had been shut down and the piece of land where the
same was established transferred. It was urged that the High
Court had proceeded on an erroneous assumption that land
underlying Survey Nos.215 and 222 stood validly vested in the
Government and free from all encumbrances. The appellants
were, according to learned counsel for the appellants, entitled
to question the validity of Notification under Section 17 of the
Act, if only the State Government were to make any claim
against them on the basis thereof. Since the Government had
itself dropped the acquisition proceedings by issuing a
notification and transferring possession, the appellants or their
predecessors in-title do not have any reason to do so. It was
urged that for a valid notification under Section 17 it was
essential that a notice under Section 9(1) of the Act was issued
to the owners concerned which was not issued in the instant
case according to the appellants. Reliance in support of that
submission was placed upon the decision of this Court in M/s.

M/S Delhi Airtech Services Pvt. ... vs State Of U.P. & Anr on 18 August, 2011
It was submitted by Mr. Sushil Kumar Jain, learned
senior counsel appearing for the appellants, that in Delhi
Airtech Services Private Ltd. and Another v. State of
Uttar Pradesh and Another (2011) 9 SCC 354, the question
whether Section 11-A applies even to cases where the land
stands vested under Section 17 of the Act is pending before a
Three-judge Bench of this Court.
V.Chandrasekaran & Anr vs Administrative Officer & Ors on 18 September, 2012
11. On behalf of the respondent-writ petitioner it was urged by
Mr. Harin P. Raval that even when there was no award in regard
to the lands situate in Survey Nos.215 and 222, the vesting
was absolute in terms of Section 17(1) of the Act and once
vested, the Government could not divest itself of land even if
no award is made within the period stipulated under Section
11-A of the Act. Reliance in support of that submission was
placed by him on the decision of this Court in V.
Chandrasekaran and Anr. v. Administrative Officer and
Ors. (2012) 12 S.C.C. 133. It is also contended that although
there were no directions issued by the High Court in Writ
Petition No.8316 of 2008 and Writ Petition No.602 of 2001 yet
the findings recorded therein clearly established that the land in
12
question vested in the State Government for all intents and
purposes which could not be allowed to be occupied
unauthorisedly by the appellants or anyone else. The fact that
the appellants herein were not impleaded as parties to the said
earlier proceedings was, according to Mr. Raval, of no
consequence. It was also urged that the possession of the land
having been taken over, Section 48 of the Act was not available
to the State Government to divest itself of the land and that the
High Court was perfectly justified in holding so in the earlier
rounds of litigation.
