Coram:
           Hon'ble Mr. Justice H. S. Thangkhiew, Judge


Appearance:
For the Petitioner(s)      :    Mr. P.T. Sangma, Adv.

For the Respondent(s)      :    Ms. I. Lyngwa, GA (For R 1-4)

i)    Whether approved for reporting in                   Yes/No
      Law journals etc:

ii)   Whether approved for publication   Yes/No
      in press:
                 JUDGMENT AND ORDER (ORAL)

1. Mr. P.T. Sangma, learned counsel for the petitioners

submits that the petitioners are the residents of a forest known as

Rongap A. chu Forest Reserve and are in possession of the said forest,

as the same had been returned to them from the Forest authorities, the

date to which he does not remember or has any information of, a portion

of which is sought to be acquired by the State respondents.

2. The prayer in the writ petition it is seen is for payment of

compensation to the petitioners and for other orders.

3. On examination of the writ petition it is noted that there is

a certain Public Notice dated 29.04.25, which has been annexed as

Annxuere-4, wherein the District Magistrate has directed for removal

or relocation of concerned land owners/assets owners, from the stretch

Naringgre to Rongapgre (NH-127B Darugiri-Songsak-Williamnagar

Junction Section), as the land is vested in the Central Government under

sub-section (1) of section 3D of the National Highway Act, 1956.

4. It appears that the writ petition is misconceived, inasmuch

as, there is no order or notice of acquisition but only a Public Notice

directing the persons who are occupying the said land to relocate,

failing which the competent authority was to take appropriate action.

5. Without further discussion, as the prayer seems to be

unrelated to the Public Notice, which is with regard to the relocation of

the persons who are occupying the Government land and not one of

acquisition as alleged, the writ petition is not entertained and the same

is dismissed.
