It is submitted that still<br \/>\nnothing was done and as such the construction of the dam was not as<br \/>\nper the design and was defective from its inception. It is submitted<br \/>\nthat in view of the above, the dam water entered into the<br \/>\nagricultural land of the petitioner bearing survey no. 176\/12 and<br \/>\ndamaged the standing crops, the agricultural land and Well<br \/>\nconstructed by the petitioner on the land in question. It is<br \/>\nsubmitted that therefore, the petitioner is entitled to damages\/<br \/>\ncompensation for such damages. Shir Rachh, learned advocate for the<br \/>\npetitioner has heavily relied upon the communication dated 29.8.2007<br \/>\naddressed by the Executive Engineer, Sardar Patel Participatory<br \/>\nIrrigation Circle, Rajkot to the Section Officer, Narmada Water<br \/>\nResources Department, State of Gujarat by which, according to the<br \/>\npetitioner the damage was assessed of Rs. 1.60 lacs. Therefore, it is<br \/>\nsubmitted that at least the petitioner is entitled to the damages \/<br \/>\ncompensation of Rs. 1.60 lacs. By making above submissions, it is<br \/>\nrequested to allow the present Special Civil Application.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.\tPetition<br \/>\nis opposed by Shri Shah, learned AGP. An affidavit in reply is filed<br \/>\non behalf of the respondent no. 3. It is specifically denied by the<br \/>\nrespondent that any damage was caused to the agricultural land as<br \/>\nwell as Well on the land bearing survey no. 176\/12 by overflowing of<br \/>\nthe water, which according to the petitioner was on account of<br \/>\ndefective design of the check dam. It is submitted that as such the<br \/>\npetitioner had encroached the land in area of approximately 140 sq.<br \/>\nmtrs. It is submitted that had there not been encroachment by the<br \/>\npetitioner, no overflowing of water could have found enough  space<br \/>\n(land) to get separated over resulting in to delusion \/ mitigation of<br \/>\nforce of water and in turn even the way once again to get diverted<br \/>\ntowards main water flow of the water of dam i.e. in the direction of<br \/>\nflow of dam water and thus setting mixed with the main flow. It is<br \/>\nsubmitted that in other words, the encroachment has obstructed the<br \/>\nflow of water and thereby resulting into the increased intensity of<br \/>\nthe impact of the overflowing water which in turn has resulted into<br \/>\npulling down of the temporary earthbund put up by the petitioner<br \/>\nhimself and thus causing water flowing within the land of the<br \/>\npetitioner. Therefore, it is submitted that the alleged damage caused<br \/>\nto the petitioner agricultural land and the Well petitioner himself<br \/>\nis responsible. Therefore, it is requested to dismiss the present<br \/>\nSpecial Civil Application.\n<\/p>\n<p>5.\tShri<br \/>\nRachh, learned advocate for the petitioner has relied upon the<br \/>\ncommunication dated 10.12.2009 by the District Inspector Land<br \/>\nRecords, Jamnagar addressed to the petitioner informing the<br \/>\npetitioner that there is no change in the measurement of the land<br \/>\nbearing survey No. 176\/8 occupied by the petitioner. Therefore, it is<br \/>\nsubmitted that there was no encroachment by the petitioner as<br \/>\nalleged.\n<\/p>\n<p>6.\tHeard<br \/>\nthe learned advocates for the respective parties at length.<br \/>\nConsidering the aforesaid facts and circumstances and the case on<br \/>\nbehalf of the respective parties, it appears to the Court that<br \/>\npetition involves disputed question of fact, which are required to be<br \/>\nadjudicated and considered by the Civil Court on leading the<br \/>\nappropriate evidence and on appreciation of evidence. It is the case<br \/>\non behalf of the petitioner that petitioner suffered damages caused<br \/>\nto the agricultural land of the petitioner having Survey No. 176\/12<br \/>\nas well as the Well in the said land due to overflowing of the dam<br \/>\nwater on account of the defective design of the check dam under the<br \/>\nSardar Patel Participatory Irrigation Scheme and, therefore, he is<br \/>\nentitled to damages. On the other hand, it is the specific case on<br \/>\nbehalf of the respondent that  overflowing of the dam water was not<br \/>\non account of the defective design of the check dam but due to the<br \/>\nencroachment made by the petitioner which obstructed the way of the<br \/>\nnatural water. The aforesaid disputed facts are not required to be<br \/>\nconsidered by this Court in exercise of powers under Article 226 of<br \/>\nthe Constitution of India. If a suit is filed before the Civil Court<br \/>\nby the petitioner in respect of their respective claim on<br \/>\nappreciation of evidence the aforesaid aspect can be considered.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tNow,<br \/>\nso far as the reliance placed upon the communication dated 29.8.2007,<br \/>\naddressed by Executive Engineer, Sardar Patel Participatory<br \/>\nIrrigation Circle, Rajkot to the Section Officer, Narmada Water<br \/>\nResources Department, State of Gujarat  in which it is stated that<br \/>\nthe lost is caused to the extent of Rs. 1.60 lacs towards the damage<br \/>\ncaused to the Well and others is concerned, it is to be noted that<br \/>\nthe petitioner claim damages towards loss caused to the agricultural<br \/>\nland also and even otherwise mute question is who is responsible for<br \/>\nthe damages. Only after it is established who was responsible for the<br \/>\noverflowing of the dam and damages further question with respect to<br \/>\nquantum of damages is required to be considered and the same can be<br \/>\nconsidered only if the suit is filed and evidences are led.\n<\/p>\n<p>7.\tIn<br \/>\nview of the above disputed question of fact, present Special Civil<br \/>\nApplication  is not entertained relegating the petitioner to file<br \/>\nsubstantive suit claiming damages. It is observed that this Court has<br \/>\nnot expressed anything on merits in favour of either parties  and it<br \/>\nis ultimately for the Civil Court to pass an appropriate decree in<br \/>\naccordance with law and on appreciation of evidence to be led before<br \/>\nit. With these, present Special Civil Application  is dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<p>(M.R.SHAH,<br \/>\nJ.)<\/p>\n<p>kaushik<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   Top<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gujarat High Court Savjibhai vs Secretary on 1 February, 2010 Author: M.R.
