1996(1) Supreme 512
SUPREME COURT OF INDIA
K. Ramaswamy & G. Pattanaik, JJ.
Ramesh Chandra Tiwari & Anr. -Appellants
versus
U.P. Avas Evam Vikas Parishad Lucknow & Ors. -Respondents
Civil Appeal No. 1823 of 1996
Decided on 8-1-1996
ORDER
Leave granted.
2. The controversy raised in this case is squarely covered by the judgment of this Court in Gauri Shankar Gaur & Ors. v. State of U.P. & Ors.1, wherein this Court had held that the provision of Section 6 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 had no application to the acquisition initiated under UP Avas Evam Vikas Parishad Adhiniyam, 1965 and the procedure prescribed in Sections 28 and 32, as modified by operation of Section 55 read with para 2 of the Schedule would be applicable. Consequently, the Land Acquisition (Amendment) Act 68 of 1984 had no application. The above view was reiterated by this Court in UP Avas Evam Vikas Parishad, Lucknow v. Lata Aswathi.2 Consequently, the notification issued under Section 28 and declaration made under Section 38 of the Adhiniyam are valid in law. The procedure prescribed under the Adhiniyam should prevail. The Amendment Act 68 of 1984 does not apply to the acquisition under the Adhiniyam. However, in view of the judgment in Gauri Shankar s case (supra), the claimants would be entitled to the compensation determined with reference to the date of declaration under Section 32 of the Act for the reasons mentioned therein.
3. The appeal is accordingly disposed of.
Appeal decided accordingly.
