Shri Mandir Sita Ramji vs Lt. Governor Of Delhi & Ors on 6 August, 1974

This acquisition was challenged by a number of parties including the Appellants. The Writ Petition filed by the Appellants was allowed by a Single Judge of the Delhi High Court on the ground that the Appellants were not heard in respect of their objections filed under Section 5A of the Land Acquisition Act. A Division Bench of the Delhi High Court allowed the Appeal and dismissed the Writ Petition. The Appeal filed by the Appellants in this Court was allowed by the Judgment reported in Shri Mandir Sita Ramji vs. Lt. Governor of Delhi & Ors. (1975) 1 SCR 597. This Court held that there had been no enquiry as to whether or not the Appellants' land belonged to a religious institution. Therefore, this Court quashed the Section 6 Notification and remitted the matter back to the Land Acquisition Collector to enquire into the objection of the Appellants. It appears that the Government then decided not to pursue the earlier Section 4 Notification in respect of the Appellants' land. Another Notification dated 13th March, 1975 under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, proposing to acquire app. 300 bighas for "planned development of Delhi" was issued. The Appellants again challenged the proposed acquisition by filing a Writ Petition. The Writ Petition was dismissed by the impugned order.

It was submitted that the acquisition of Appellants' land was for purposes of "planned development of Delhi" and not for any Co-operative Society. It is submitted that acquisition for "planned development of Delhi" has been upheld by a Constitution Bench of this Court in the case of Aflatoon vs Lt. Governor of Delhi [(1975) 4 SCC 285]. It is pointed out that the Constitution Bench has in this Judgment upheld acquisition inter alia on the ground that when there is acquisition of such a large area of land, it is not possible to specify in detail what the exact purpose of acquisition is. It was pointed out that an argument identical to the one now made has been negatived in that Judgment. Reliance was placed on para 24 of the Judgment which reads as under:
