Ms.  No.412, Hou ban Development Department, dated 9-5-1975.<br \/>\nThe basis of their claim is that they became the owners of Plot Nos.15  to  18<br \/>\n(Extent 4615  and 4260 sq.ft.  in S.No.69\/1 and 69\/2), Plot No.13 (Extent 2414<br \/>\nsq.ft.  in S.No.69\/1A), Plot No.14 (Extent 2201 sq.ft.   i  n  S.No.69\/1A  and<br \/>\n69\/2B), Plot  No.5  (Extent  2263 sq.ft.  in S.No.69\/1A and 69\/2B), Plot No.12<br \/>\n(Extent 2414 sq.ft.  in S.No.69\/1A) and Plot No.6  (Extent  1223  sq.ft.    in<br \/>\nS.No.69\/2B) respectively.    They further plead that the lands were covered to<br \/>\nthe extent of 37 cents in S.  No.69\/1A and 67 cents in S.No.69\/2B referred  to<br \/>\nearlier.  The  lands were originally owned by one R.  Kandasamy and thereafter<br \/>\nthe said lands were plotted out and sold to different buyers  and  petitioners<br \/>\nbeing one of them.\n<\/p>\n<p>                2.  Petitioners then refer to the Notification dated 11-6-1975<br \/>\nissued under  Sec.4  of  the  Land  Acquisition  Act.   They also refer to the<br \/>\nsubsequent notification issued on 9-6-1978 under Sec.6 of the said Act.   They<br \/>\npoint out  that  R.    Kandasamy  a  writ petition before this Court vide W.P.<br \/>\nNo.2338 of 1987 to quash the land acquisition proceedings and this  Court,  by<br \/>\nits order  dated  11-3-1987, granted stay of dispossession.  Subsequently, the<br \/>\nsaid writ petition was disposed of by the judgment dated 24-10-1991, following<br \/>\nthe order dated 8-10-1991, passed in W.P.  No.3693 of 1996.  The  notification<br \/>\nwas thus quashed.\n<\/p>\n<p>                3.   A  statement has been made that there were no steps taken<br \/>\nfor acquisition of the  land  and  no  fresh  notification  was  also  issued.<br \/>\nPetitioners  then  claim that taking advantage of the Tamil Nadu Housing Board<br \/>\nAmendment Act, 1992 (T.N.  Act 5 espondents are threatening to interfere  with<br \/>\nthe  possession  of  the  petitioners  on  the  assumption  that  the  earlier<br \/>\nnotifications, which were already quashed, would be revived by reason of Act 5<br \/>\nof 1992.    Petitioners,  therefore,  point  out  that  since  the  ea   rlier<br \/>\nnotification had  already been quashed by this Court in W.P.  No.2338 of 1987,<br \/>\nthere would be no question of revival of those notifications by the provisions<br \/>\nof the Tamil Nadu Act 5 of 1992.  It is, therefore, contended that the  action<br \/>\non the part of the State Government is patently incorrect.\n<\/p>\n<p>                4.   Learned  counsel  appearing for the petitioners says that<br \/>\nthere would be no question of reviving the notifications  which  were  already<br \/>\nfinally quashed by the order of this Court which order had also become final.\n<\/p>\n<p>                5.   Learned  Government  Advocate,  however,  points out that<br \/>\nthere is a judgment reported in 1994 W.L.R.  748 <a href=\"\/doc\/66973\/\">(N.D.  Rangan and  others  v.<br \/>\nState  of  Tamil  Nadu  and others<\/a>) which has taken a view that the Tamil Nadu<br \/>\nHousing Board Amendment Act, 1992 5\/92) was held to be valid by  the  Division<br \/>\nBench judgment  of  this  Court.    Under the said Act, it is obvious that the<br \/>\nearlier notifications issued under the  Land  Acquisition  Act  were  revived.<br \/>\nLearned  Government  Advocate  points out that the Tamil Nadu Act 5\/1992 would<br \/>\nhave the effect of reviving the earlier land acquisition notifications.\n<\/p>\n<p>                6.  Learned counsel for the petitioners, however,  points  out<br \/>\nthat  in  this case the judgment in the earlier writ petition had become final<br \/>\nsince it was not challenged.  My attention was invited to paragraphs 38 and 44<br \/>\nof the said judgment, w under:\n<\/p>\n<p>        \u201c38.  The only limitation on the power of the Legislature is  that  by<br \/>\nsuch  a  retrospective legislation, as individual decision inter partes cannot<br \/>\nbe affected.  In  other  words,  the  respondents  cannot  by  virtue  of  the<br \/>\nAmendment  Act  contend that the N ication in G.O.Ms.No.847, Housing and Urban<br \/>\nDevelopment,dated 31-5-1983 by which the  lands  of  Mohammed  Yosuf  in  R.S.<br \/>\nNo.543\/3,  Village  Road,  Nungambakkam, Madras were sought to be acquired has<br \/>\nbecome valid.  If there is any other case in which a similar Notification  has<br \/>\nbeen  quashed  and  the  judgment  of  the  Court  had become final before the<br \/>\nAmendment Act, the same principle will apply.  But  none  of  the  petitioners<br \/>\nbefore  us  has  claimed  the benefit of the aforesaid exception and contended<br \/>\nthat the validat ion provision is not applicable to them.   Hence,  we  reject<br \/>\nthis contention of the petitioner.\n<\/p>\n<p>        44.  In  any  event,  we  do not want to conclude that issue here.  If<br \/>\nthere is an appeal against W.P.  No.13577 of 1989, the Bench which  hears  the<br \/>\nsame may consider the said question, if raised by the petitioner.  If there is<br \/>\nno  appeal  against  the judgm in that writ petition, and it has become final,<br \/>\nthe petitioner will have the benefit of it notwithstanding the  Amendment  Act<br \/>\nas already pointed out by us in paragraph 38 supra.\u201d<br \/>\nFrom  this,  learned  counsel  points out that even the Division Bench of this<br \/>\nCourt had held that where the judgment quashing the  notification  had  become<br \/>\nfinal  then,  the  amendment  Act  would not have the effect of reviving those<br \/>\nnotifications which were alre ady quashed.  Learned Government Advocate points<br \/>\nthat the aforementioned judgment in W.P.2338 of  1987  had  not  become  final<br \/>\ninasmuch as a writ appeal (W.A.  SR.  No.14998 of 1992 and c.M.P.  No.13350 of<br \/>\n1993) was  filed against the same and is still pending.  From this the learned<br \/>\nGovernment Advocate points out that the judgment could not  be  said  to  have<br \/>\nbecome  final  with the result that the Division Bench judgment which has held<br \/>\nthat the Tamil Nadu Act 5 of 1992 was validly passed and  had  the  effect  of<br \/>\nrevi ving  the  earlier  notifications  would  hold the field.  Therefore, the<br \/>\nposition is obtained that the notifications which  were  quashed  would  stand<br \/>\nrevived because  of  the  Tamil  Nadu  Act 5 of 1992.  If that is so then, the<br \/>\npetitions must fail as because of th e revival of the notifications, the State<br \/>\nGovernment would have the  necessary  powers  to  acquire  the  lands.    Writ<br \/>\npetitions  have  no merits and they are dismissed but without any orders as to<br \/>\nthe costs.  In the event the writ appeal, which is said to  be  pe  nding,  is<br \/>\nallowed,  petitioners  may  have  the  remedies  available  to  them  in  law.<br \/>\nConnected W.M.P.  Nos.4163 to 4168 of 1995 are closed.\n<\/p>\n<p>Index:Yes<br \/>\nWebsite:Yes<br \/>\nJai<br \/>\n13-09-2002<\/p>\n<p>To:\n<\/p>\n<p>1.
