ORDER

31.12.2021

RP No. 146/2021

The present review petition has been filed seeking review of the judgment and order dated 12.11.2021 passed by this court.

The first issue highlighted is with regard to a typographical error contained in the penultimate paragraph of the judgment and order wherein it is stated that instead of directing the initiation of acquisition proceedings under the “Land Acquisition Act”, this court had inadvertently reflected proceedings to be initiated under the “Land Revenue Act”.

The second issue highlighted was that during the pendency of the LPA proceedings and during the time when the LPA was reserved for judgment, the official respondents had forcibly taken over the possession from the appellants and that they should have, in the normal course, waited till the outcome of the enquiry as has been ordered by the Division Bench.

However, reference to paragraph 17 of the judgment and order dated 12.11.2021 would clearly reflect that this court had noticed the finding recorded by the writ court that the Power Development Department had already taken over the land in question and the construction was going on ever since. In that view of the matter, the assertion that it was during the pendency of the LPA proceedings that the possession was taken over may not be entirely correct.

Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner, we feel that except the typographical error in the penultimate paragraph of the judgment and order dated 12.11.2021, no case for review is made out as there is no error apparent on the face of the record, which is required to be rectified and corrected. Insofar as the typographical error is concerned in paragraph 20(ii) of the judgment and order dated 12.11.2021, the phrase “Land Revenue Act” shall be read as “Land Acquisition Act”.

This order shall form part of the judgment and order dated 12.11.2021.

Disposed of accordingly.
