SANJIV KHANNA, SANJAY KUMAR
T. Udaykumar – Appellant
Versus
Ravichandran – Respondent
ORDER :
1. Having heard the learned counsel for the parties at some length, we do not find any good ground and reason to interfere with the reasoning of the High Court and the findings recorded with regard to the acquisition of the land whereupon the Tamil Nadu Housing Board1 [For short “TNHB”] became the owner of the subject extent of 0.90 cents of land located in Survey No. 297/1 of Kodambakkam Village, Mambalam, Guindy Taluk, Chennai.
2. We would like to add that the confusion has probably arisen account of the incorrect mention of the total area of the acquired land in the order/judgment dated 13.03.1981 passed in CROP. No. 145/1976. In this order, by mistake, the extent of land has been written as 4.05 acres instead of 4.95 acres. It is clear to us, as the awarded compensation mentioned in the order dated 13.03.1981 is Rs. 62,209.82 (Rupees sixty two thousand three hundred nine and ninety two paisa only), the figure which matches with the amount of compensation payable to the then owners, S. Velu Mudaliar and Rajalakshmi Ammal.
3. Reliance placed by the appellant, T. Udaykumar, on the Ratification Deed dated 19.01.2004, in our opinion, does not carry weight because what was ratif
The court affirmed the Tamil Nadu Housing Board's ownership of land and upheld the rights of flat buyers, rejecting the appellant's claims based on invalid Patta documents.
Supreme Court order binding on flat buyers; excluded buyers cannot seek writ relief for title conveyance.
Acquisition proceedings cannot be nullified for all parties based on individual petitions unless explicitly challenged; procedural fairness is critical.
The court affirmed that once a land acquisition notification is quashed, no further objections, such as the need for an NOC from the Housing Board, can be imposed on issuing patta.
