Rana,  learned senior counsel<br \/>\nfor the\t petitioner. The  acquisition of  the  land  by\t the<br \/>\nGhaziabad   Development\t   Authority   was    initiated\t  by<br \/>\nnotification of\t February 25,  1986, under  Section 4 (1) of<br \/>\nthe Land  Acquisition Act,  1894  (for\tshort,\t&#8216;the  Act&#8217;);<br \/>\nenquiry under Section 5A was dispensed with under Section 17<br \/>\n(4) of\tthe Act and the Declaration under Section 6 was made<br \/>\non February 26, 1986. Both the notifications and declaration<br \/>\nwere  simultaneously   published  on  April  10,  1986.\t The<br \/>\nrespondents 1  and 2 have filed writ petition No. 7155\/86 in<br \/>\nthe High  Court of Allahabad challenging the validity of the<br \/>\nnotification under  Section 4  (1) on  the ground that local<br \/>\npublication as\trequired under\tSection 4  (1) was not made.<br \/>\nThe exercise  of the  power under  Section 17  (4) was\talso<br \/>\nwrongly\t invoked,   as\tsimultaneously\t notification  under<br \/>\nSection 4  (1) and  declaration under Section 6 could not be<br \/>\npublished. The\tHigh Court  accepted the  contentions and by<br \/>\nimpugned order\tdated November\t3, 1987,  allowed  the\twrit<br \/>\npetition and  quashed the  notification of Section 4 (1) and<br \/>\nthe declaration under Section 6. Thus this appeal by special<br \/>\nleave.\n<\/p>\n<p>     Section 4\t(1) of\tthe Act\t envisages that\t whenever it<br \/>\nappears to  the appropriate  Government\t that  land  in\t any<br \/>\nlocality is  needed or is likely to be needed for any public<br \/>\npurpose of for a company a notification to that effect shall<br \/>\nbe published  in the  official\tGazette\t and  in  two  daily<br \/>\nnewspapers circulating\tin that\t locality of  which at least<br \/>\none shall  be in  the regional\tlanguage. This\twas added by<br \/>\nAmendment Act  68 of  1984. Earlier  thereto under the local<br \/>\namendment  of\tU.P.,  publication   in\t one  newspaper\t was<br \/>\nsufficient. The Collector is required to cause public notice<br \/>\nof the\tsubstance  of  such  notification  to  be  given  at<br \/>\nconvenient places in the said locality. The State of UP made<br \/>\namendment to  Section 4\t by  UP\t Land  Acquisition  VIII  of<br \/>\n1974\/XXII of  1954, whereunder\tbetween the  words &#8220;and&#8221; and<br \/>\nthe word  &#8220;Collector&#8221; the following shall be inserted and be<br \/>\ndeemed always to have been inserted. The proviso thereto was<br \/>\nadded as under:-\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>     &#8220;Except in the case of any land to which<br \/>\n     by virtue\tof a  direction of  the State<br \/>\n     Government\t under\t sub  section\t4  of<br \/>\n     Section 17\t the provision of Section 5 A<br \/>\n     shall not apply.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>     In\t other\twords,\tthe  mandatory\trequirement  of\t the<br \/>\npublication  of\t  the  notification   in  the  locality\t was<br \/>\ndispensed with\tin a  case where  the Government  had opined<br \/>\nthat the land was urgently needed, under Section 17(4). When<br \/>\nthe  authorities  have\tdispensed  with\t the  enquiry  under<br \/>\nSection 5A,  the requirement  of local publication shall not<br \/>\napply. Consequently,  the  finding  of\tthe  High  Court  is<br \/>\nunsustainable. It  is rather unfortunate that this amendment<br \/>\nwas not\t brought to  the notice\t of the\t High Court when the<br \/>\nwrit petition  was allowed.  But operation  of the statutory<br \/>\nlocal  amendment   to  the  Act\t has  dispensed\t with  local<br \/>\npublication  in\t  two  newspapers.  The\t notification  under<br \/>\nSection 4  [1] is  not vitiated\t for non-publication  of the<br \/>\nnotification in the local newspapers.\n<\/p>\n<p>     The next question is whether Section 17 (4) applies and<br \/>\nthe action taken was inconsistent with the provisions of the<br \/>\nAct. It is seen that but for local amendment, on publication<br \/>\nof the notification under Section 4(1) and exercising of the<br \/>\npower  under   Section\t17   (4),  the\tpublication  of\t the<br \/>\ndeclaration under  Section 6  is mandatory pre-condition for<br \/>\ntaking possession  of  the  land.  Even\t on  publication  of<br \/>\ndeclaration under  Section 6,  notice  under  Section  9  is<br \/>\nnecessary to  the owner or person interested in the land and<br \/>\non expiry  of 15  days from  the date  of the  notice  under<br \/>\nSection 9  the Government  is entitled to take possession of<br \/>\nthe land.  By operation\t of Sub-section\t (2) of\t Section  17<br \/>\nthough award  has not  been made  under Section\t 11 the land<br \/>\nstands vested in the Government, free from all encumbrances.<br \/>\nIn the\tState of  UP  an  amendment  has  been\tmade  by  UP<br \/>\nAmendment Act  repeal 32  of 1990  and the  Land Acquisition<br \/>\n[Validation] Act  1991, (UP  Act 5  of 1991), which had come<br \/>\ninto force  w.e.f. September  24, 1984, envisaging insertion<br \/>\nof a  proviso to  sub-section (4)  of Section 17 which reads<br \/>\nthus:-\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>     &#8220;In Section  17 of\t the Land Acquisition<br \/>\n     Act, 1894, as amended in its application<br \/>\n     to Uttar  Pradesh, hereinafter  referred<br \/>\n     to as  the principal Act, in sub-section<br \/>\n     (4)  the\tfollowing  proviso  shall  be<br \/>\n     inserted at  the end and shall be deemed<br \/>\n     to have  been inserted  on September 24,<br \/>\n     1984, namely, Provided that where in the<br \/>\n     case of  any  land,  notification\tunder<br \/>\n     Section  4,  sub-section  (1)  has\t been<br \/>\n     published in  the Official Gazette on or<br \/>\n     after  September  24,  1984  but  before<br \/>\n     January 11,  1989\tand  the  appropriate<br \/>\n     Government has  under  this  sub-section<br \/>\n     directed that  the provisions of Section<br \/>\n     5-A shall not apply, a declaration under<br \/>\n     Section 6\tin respect of the land may be<br \/>\n     made either  simultaneously with  or  at<br \/>\n     any time  after the  publication in  the<br \/>\n     Official  Gazette\tof  the\t notification<br \/>\n     under Section 4, sub-section (1).&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>     In other  words by\t operation of the proviso to Section<br \/>\n17 (4)\tin relation  to its  application to the State of UP,<br \/>\nNotification under  Section 4  (1) and the declaration under<br \/>\nSection 6 would simultaneously be published. The appropriate<br \/>\nAuthority is  empowered to  issue notice under Section 9 and<br \/>\ntake possession\t on expiry  of\t15  days.  The\tHigh  Court,<br \/>\ntherefore, was\tnot  correct  in  its  conclusion  that\t the<br \/>\nGovernment  would  not\thave  published\t simultaneously\t the<br \/>\nnotification under  Section 4  (1) and the declaration under<br \/>\nSection 6  and immediately  taken possession  of the land in<br \/>\nquestion.\n<\/p>\n<p>     In that  view of  the matter,  the decision of the High<br \/>\nCourt in  the impugned\tjudgment  is  clearly  illegal.\t The<br \/>\nappeal is  accordingly allowed,\t but  in  the  circumstances<br \/>\nwithout costs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Supreme Court of India Ghaziabad Development Authority vs Jan Kaluan Samiti,Sheopuri, &#8230; on 9 January, 1996 Equivalent citations: 1996 AIR 1045, 1996 SCC (2) 365 Author: K Ramaswamy Bench: Ramaswamy, K.
