            CM No.7288 of 2008 is allowed.          Replication is taken on<\/p>\n
record.\n<\/p>\n
Main case<\/p>\n
            Dr. Satinder Dev and Paramjit Singh of Barwala, Tehsil and<\/p>\n
District Hisar, own 142 kanals and 74 kanals, respectively.          Near the<\/p>\n
petitioners’ village a thermal plant known as Rajiv Gandhi Khedar Thermal<\/p>\n
Power Plant is coming up in village Khedar, over an area of 1250 acres.<\/p>\n
Large tracts of land have been acquired for the project. The thermal plant<\/p>\n
also requires a huge quantity of water which is to be stored in storage tanks.
\n CWP No. 3447 of 2008                                                    5<\/span><\/p>\n
In order to cater for the demand of water, a feeder channel from Sarsana<\/p>\n
head was proposed. The channel runs alongside the Bhadawar Distributory<\/p>\n
towards Khedar upto RD 45010. The feeder channel then turns to flow<\/p>\n
through agricultural fields in order to reach the power plant.              The<\/p>\n
petitioners’ grievance is that proper alignment of the feeder channel was to<\/p>\n
the south of their holdings. But the approved alignment has been made in<\/p>\n
such a way that near the holding of petitioner 2, the channel makes a right<\/p>\n
angle turn to the right, then flows north for 4 acres to enter the holding of<\/p>\n
petitioner 2. Thereafter, the channel takes another right angle turn to the left<\/p>\n
and flows right through the holding of petitioner 2 and also to the holding of<\/p>\n
petitioner 1. It flows west for 19 acres and takes a right angle turn to the<\/p>\n
north to finally reach the thermal plant (the above alignment has been culled<\/p>\n
from the site plan Annexure P\/3).\n<\/p>\n
               The petitioners are naturally aggrieved by the alignment which<\/p>\n
has the affect of bifurcating their agricultural holdings. The other grievance<\/p>\n
of the petitioners is that the present alignment actually involves two right<\/p>\n
angle turns whereas if the channel is aligned in the proper way there would<\/p>\n
be only one such turn and the petitioners’ holdings would be saved from<\/p>\n
bifurcation.\n<\/p>\n
               According to the petitioners, the site plan Annexure P\/3 was<\/p>\n
obtained by them from the office of Executive Engineer, Adampur, Water<\/p>\n
Services Division-respondent 5 under the Right to Information Act. The<\/p>\n
site plan Annexure P\/3 shows the approved alignment as well as the<\/p>\n
proposed alignment. The approved being the one which cuts through the<\/p>\n
petitioners’ holdings, while the proposed being the one which flows south of<\/p>\n
their holdings.\n<\/p>\n
 CWP No. 3447 of 2008                                                   5<\/span><\/p>\n
            The change in the alignment has been allegedly done at the<\/p>\n
behest of the private respondents. The petitioners filed representations on<\/p>\n
June 12, 2007 and September 20, 2007 (Annexures P\/6 and P\/7). These<\/p>\n
representations were made to the Engineer-in-Chief, Irrigation Department.<\/p>\n
Some representations were also made to the Chief Minister, Haryana. The<\/p>\n
petitioners also served a legal notice dated January 10, 2008 (Annexure<\/p>\n
P\/10). In nutshell, the petitioners’ submission is that instead of two bends in<\/p>\n
the proposed alignment, which affect their holdings, one bend would be<\/p>\n
better and would make the channel flow to the south of their holdings,<\/p>\n
saving them from bifurcation. Respondents were proposing to acquire the<\/p>\n
land by invoking urgency provisions of Section 17 (2) (C ) and 17 (4) of the<\/p>\n
Land Acquisition Act, whereunder the petitioners shall be deprived of filing<\/p>\n
the objections. The petitioners are seeking a direction that the akshjra\/site<\/p>\n
plan (Annexure P\/3) alongwith its approval be quashed and the respondents<\/p>\n
be directed to revert back to the initial alignment of the proposed channel.<\/p>\n
            The respondents put in appearance and filed reply of Executive<\/p>\n
Engineer, Adampur water Services Division, on behalf of respondents 1 to<\/p>\n
6. It was pleaded in the reply that the thermal plant was being constructed<\/p>\n
to meet the need of electricity in the region. It was being constructed in the<\/p>\n
larger public interest and 1100 acres of land has been acquired. Two units<\/p>\n
of the power stations would generate 600 MW energy each, and they<\/p>\n
required huge quantity of water. Moreover, the feeder channel was to be a<\/p>\n
fully covered channel over which huge RCC slabs would be placed. These<\/p>\n
slabs are so thick and durable that they can be even used for movement of<\/p>\n
traffic including heavy vehicles. There are no chances of the feeder channel<\/p>\n
causing any loss or damage. The covered channel would also prevent theft
\n CWP No. 3447 of 2008                                                 5<\/span><\/p>\n
of water.\n<\/p>\n
            As regards the site plan Annexure P\/3, the respondents claimed<\/p>\n
that this was not the approved site plan which had been accepted by the<\/p>\n
competent authority. The feeder channel suggested by the petitioners was<\/p>\n
not viable as a petrol pump and a flour mill came in the way. The approval<\/p>\n
of the alignment had already been accorded by the Chief Engineer on<\/p>\n
September 19, 2007, after considering all the aspects of the matter.     The<\/p>\n
approved alignment was Annexure R5\/1. The competent authority had also<\/p>\n
approved the issuance of notification under Section 4 of the Land<\/p>\n
Acquisition Act on March 31, 2008 and urgency provision had been<\/p>\n
invoked. The thermal power station has to be constructed in a very short<\/p>\n
span of time to make it operational in January 2009.\n<\/p>\n
            We are of the view that no change in the alignment should be<\/p>\n
done after the Chief Engineer has granted approval simply to save the<\/p>\n
holdings of some landowners from getting bifurcated. Water has to be<\/p>\n
taken through a channel from Sarsana head of Bhadawar Distributory to the<\/p>\n
thermal plant. The respondents have categorically stated that the channel<\/p>\n
shall be covered by RCC slabs which will enable even heavy vehicles to ply<\/p>\n
over it. Therefore, there is no danger of flood damage to the fields through<\/p>\n
which the channel shall pass.     The alignment has been worked out by<\/p>\n
technical experts and we are of the opinion that larger public interest must<\/p>\n
be kept in view over the private interest of the petitioners. The channel has<\/p>\n
to necessarily pass through the agricultural lands falling in the way. Some<\/p>\n
loss of productivity or severance of fields is bound to occur. This can be<\/p>\n
adequately compensated through payment of compensation.<\/p>\n
            We do not think this is the case in which this Court should
\n CWP No. 3447 of 2008                                              5<\/span><\/p>\n
interfere in changing the alignment which has been finally approved by the<\/p>\n
Chief Engineer.\n<\/p>\n
            This petition being devoid of merits is dismissed.<\/p>\n
