Notification of acquisition legal meaning, translation and judicial precedents.
Meaning & Judicial Interpretation: (اردو مفہوم اور قانونی تشریح)
Contentions of petitioners were that notification was issued in order to deprive them of their land in the garb of extension of graveyard due to influence of their rival politician and that acquiring department had failed to complete the acquisition proceedings within one year, therefore, notification for acquisition stood revoked
Validity
Report of local commission revealed that there existed old graveyards in three directions of the property in question and the same was feasible for the said purpose
Failure of acquiring department to complete the acquisition proceedings within one year would have no bearing on the case of petitioners
Section 4 of Land Acquisition Act, 1894 was amended only in order to avoid escalation in the prices of the acquired land so as to safeguard the interest of landowners
Constitutional petition was dismissed, accordingly.
Notification under S.4 of Land Acquisition Act, 1894, is issued to give notice to public at large that land subject matter of notification is required for public purpose and it further means that there is "an impediment to anyone to encumber land acquired thereunder"
Any encumbrance created after gazette notification is void against State.
