It is submitted by the learned AAG appearing for the State- respondents that insofar as WP(C) No.352 of 2020, WP(C) No.408 of 2021, WP(C) No.409 of 2021, WP(C) No.410 of 2021, WP(C) No.411 of 2021, WP(C) No.418 of 2021, WP(C) No.419 of 2021, WP(C) No.420 of 2021, WP(C) No.430 of 2021, WP(C) No.32 of 2022, WP(C) No.451 of 2022 and WP(C) No.490 of 2018 are concerned, the land acquisition proceedings have been initiated and are currently in the stage of public hearing with regard to preliminary notification. He submits that the proceedings in these cases will be completed as soon as the necessary legal formalities are observed.
The submission advanced by the learned AAG has not been disputed by the learned counsels appearing for the petitioners.
On consideration of the submission made by the learned AAG, all the above-mentioned writ petitions are hereby disposed of. It is expected that the land acquisition proceedings in the above cases will be completed at the earliest in terms of the related provision of law.
Insofar as the WP(C) No.27 of 2019 and WP(C) No.563 of 2019 are concerned, there appears to be a communication gap between the Union and the State with regard to the initiation of the land acquisition proceedings. The aforesaid writ petitions, therefore, shall stand segregated from the rest and be listed after 2 (two) weeks to enable the learned DSGI appearing for the Union to obtain necessary instruction.
