Yes/No THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION No.23112 OF 2015 ORDER:

Petitioner seeks consideration of his representation for

resumption of land on the ground that it remained unused. The legal position is settled by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in V.Chandrasekaran v. Administrative Officer[1] whereunder it was held that :

"the owner of land, whose land is acquired under L.A. Act for a certain public purpose by paying compensation, has no legally enforceable right for claiming return of the land on the ground that it was not utilized for the purpose for which it was acquired".

However, petitioner appears to have been making representation to the Tahsildar and District Collector seeking resumption and one of such made to the district Collector dt.14.11.2014 is annexed as Ex.P3.

In view of the above, let the District Collector look into the said representation and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs.

As a sequel, miscellaneous applications pending if any, shall stand dismissed.
