Hon’ble Shri Justice Rakesh Mohan Pandey
Order on Board
01.08.2025
1. The petitioners have filed these petitions seeking the following reliefs:-
“10.1 That, this Hon’ble Court may kindly be pleased to set
aside the impugned order dated 09.01.2019 (ANNEXURE
P/1) passed by the respondent no. 4.
10.2 That, this Hon’ble Court may kindly be pleased to set
aside the entire acquisition proceedings initiated by the
respondents in the Village Tara & Shivnagar, in the interest
of justice.
OR
That, this Hon’ble Court may kindly be pleased to direct the
respondents to calculate adequate and proper
compensation and make payment along with interest at 15%
per annum, from the date of award i.e. 30.09.2011, to the
date of payment to the petitioners, complying with all
provisions of rehabilitation policy and providing developed
plots to the petitioners before dispossessing the petitioners
from their properties, in the interest of justice.
10.3 That, any other relief/order which may deem fit and just
in the facts and circumstances of the case including award of
the costs of the petition may be given.”
2. The facts, in a nutshell, are that the Chhattisgarh Mineral Development
Corporation Limited (CMDCL), Raipur, sent a proposal to the Collector,
Surguja, for the acquisition of private lands under the provisions of the
14
Land Acquisition Act, 1894 (for short ‘the Act, 1894’), for the
implementation and development of the Tara Coal Project. A direction
was issued to initiate land acquisition proceedings for acquiring 225.24
hectares of land situated at Village Tara, Tehsil and District Surajpur. A
notification under Section 4(1) of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 was
published on 26.6.2009. On 7.7.2009, a public notice was issued
inviting objections from the affected persons according to the
provisions of Section 5A of the Act, 1894. On 12.8.2009, a notification
under Section 6 of the Act, 1894, was issued and published in daily
newspapers on 31.8.2009. On 19.3.2010, the State of Chhattisgarh
issued a gazette notification regarding revising the compensation
amount. Subsequently, a notification under Section 9(1) of the Act,
1894, was issued, and an award was passed by the Land Acquisition
Officer on 12.8.2011. The award was approved by the Commissioner,
Ambikapur, Sarguja, on 30.9.2011.
3. The entire compensation amount was deposited by Adani Power
Limited with the Land Acquisition Officer. The mutation proceedings
were initiated in favour of CMDCL, and the petitioners were compelled
to hand over the possession of their lands. Adani Power Limited was
allotted a coal block; however, the Hon’ble Supreme Court quashed
the allotment vide order dated 25.8.2014 in W.P.(Crl) No. 120 of 2012
and other connected matters. The petitioners pleaded that, as the coal
15
block allotment has already been quashed, the land acquisition
proceedings are vitiated.
4. The petitioners have also stated that although the rate of
compensation was revised by the State Government vide notification
dated 19.3.2010, the Land Acquisition Officer did not take this
notification into consideration. Furthermore, the appropriate amount
of solatium was not paid to the land oustees. The petitioners made
representations before the respondent authorities on 6.2.2012,
3.9.2012, 12.11.2012 & 24.5.2013 seeking payment of adequate
compensation. When no action was taken by the respondents, some
petitioners filed WP(C) No.1183 of 2013 and vide order dated
12.8.2013, the District Collector was directed to take necessary steps.
Some petitioners also filed Contempt Petition No.34 of 2014, following
which the compensation was paid. It is pleaded that the compensation
was paid after a delay of 2 – 3 years from the date of the award
without any interest. The petitioners have referred to Section 28 of the
Act, 1894, which deals with the payment of interest. It is also pleaded
that there was no urgency warranting the invocation of Section 5A of
the Act, 1894. Additionally, it is pleaded that the Hon’ble Supreme
Court, vide orders dated 25.8.2014 and 24.9.2014, cancelled the coal
block allocations from 1993 to 31.3.2011, including those relating to
CMDC and the Tara Coal Block. Respondent No. 4 vide order dated
9.1.2019, directed the Tehsildar, Premnagar, to initiate mutation
16
proceedings pertaining to the acquired lands after a lapse of 8 years
from the date of the award. It is also pleaded that this action violates
Section 24(2) of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in
Land Acquisition Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 (for short
‘the Act, 2013’). It is also pleaded that the respondents ought to have
acquired the entire chunk of land at once, but the lands have been
acquired in piecemeal without making payment of compensation. It is
also pleaded that the compensation amount paid by Adani Power
Limited to CMDCL has already been refunded to it after the
cancellation of the coal block. In the alternative, the petitioners have
sought direction to the respondents to calculate adequate and proper
compensation and to make payment along with interest @15% per
annum from the date of the award, i.e. 30.9.2011.
5. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners would submit that
respondent No.4 issued a direction to the Tehsildar to initiate mutation
proceedings after a lapse of 8 years from the date of the award
without assigning sufficient reasons. It is further submitted that the
coal block allotment has already been quashed by the Hon’ble
Supreme Court; therefore, the respondent/CMDC has no right or locus
to acquire the land or initiate mutation proceedings. It is also
submitted that the possession has not been taken over by respondent
No.2 and therefore, the acquisition proceedings are vitiated. It is also
argued that though the award was passed on 12.8.2011, the
17
compensation was paid only after the intervention of this Court in
September, 2014; therefore, the petitioners are entitled to 15%
compound interest on the compensation amount. In support thereof,
reliance has been placed on the judgments of the Hon’ble Supreme
Court rendered in the matters of Manohar Lal Sharma vs. Principal
Secretary and others, (2014) 9 SCC 516 and (2014) 9 SCC 614 and
Kedar Nath Yadav vs. State of West Bengal and Others, (2017) 11
SCC 601.
6. On the other hand, learned counsel for the State would oppose the
submissions made by counsel for the petitioners. Shri Raj Kumar
Gupta, Addl. Advocate General appearing for the State would submit
that the award was passed on 12.8.2011, and it has been accepted by
the petitioners. The amount of compensation was deposited by
respondent No.2 with the Land Acquisition Officer immediately
thereafter, and the petitioners accepted it in the month of September,
2014. It is further argued that the petitioners have not challenged the
award dated 12.8.2011. He would further contend that although the
Hon’ble Supreme Court has canceled the coal block allocation order,
the land acquisition proceedings and the award passed on 12.8.2011
by the Land Acquisition Officer are still in existence as the same have
not been touched. He would also submit that the entire land was
acquired in the name of respondent No.2/Corporation, and, if coal
18
block allocation is canceled, it is for respondent No.2 to utilise the land
and allot it to another entity.
7. With regard provisions of Section 24(2) of the Act, 2013, he would
submit that the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the matter of Indore
Development Authority vs. Manoharlal and Others, (2020) 8 SCC
129, has clarified that there shall be no deemed lapse of acquisition
proceedings once compensation has been paid and accepted by the
land oustees.
8. With regard to the alternative part of the prayer made by the
petitioners, learned State counsel would submit that the petitioners
have neither pleaded any provision of law entitling them to receive
such interest, nor have they adequately proved the negligence on the
part of the respondent State. It is also argued that the petitioners may
approach the competent authority in accordance with law to raise their
grievance. He would submit that the petitions deserve to be dismissed.
9. Learned counsel for respondent No.2 would support the contention
made by counsel for the State.
10. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the
documents present on the record.
11. In the present case, the lands of the petitioners and other land oustees
were acquired according to the provisions of the Act, 1894, by
respondent No.2/CMDC and an award was passed on 12.8.2011. The
19
petitioners accepted the amount of compensation in the month of
September, 2014. The petitioners have filed these petitions on the
grounds that the coal block allotment in favour of the Tara Coal
Project was canceled by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the matter of
Manohar Lal Sharma (supra), and mutation proceedings were
initiated by the revenue authorities after a lapse of 8 years. The
petitioners, in these petitions, have sought a direction to the
respondents to pay adequate and proper compensation with interest
@ 15% from the date of the award, and thus, the petitioners have
sought two conflicting reliefs.
12. Admittedly, the lands were acquired by respondent No.2 for the
development of the Tara Coal Project and the coal block was allotted
to Adani Power Limited. Initially, the amount of compensation was
deposited by the said company with the Land Acquisition Officer;
however, the allocation of coal blocks was canceled by the Hon’ble
Supreme Court in the above-stated matters, and consequently, the
compensation amount was refunded to the said company.
13. The order in Manohar Lal Sharma (supra) was passed on 25.8.2014,
whereas the award was passed by the Land Acquisition Officer on
12.8.2011, and approved by the Commissioner, Ambikapur, on
30.9.2011. The Hon’ble Supreme Court in Manohar Lal Sharma
(supra), (2014) 9 SCC 516, in paras 162.8 & 162.9, held as follows:-
20
“162.8. However, almost after 22 years, vide Circular dated
12.12.2001, the Central Government, reviewing its earlier
policy, allowed the State Government companies or
undertakings to do mining of coking and non-coking coal or
lignite reserves either by opencast or underground method,
anywhere in the country, subject to the conditions set out
therein. Under the revised policy, the State Government
company/undertaking was permitted to mine non-coking coal
and coking coal reserves or lignite by opencast/underground
method without the restriction of “isolated small pockets”.
162.9. Having carefully examined the Circular dated
12.12.2001, in light of the provisions of the CMN Act, as
amended in 1976, it appears to us that the circular is not in
conformity with the provisions of the CMN Act and,
consequently, has no legal sanction. CMN Act and further
amendments therein carried out in 1976 do not allow State
Government or State PSUs to mine coal for commercial use.
The problem seems to have arisen because of the 2001
circular which permits the State Government companies or
undertakings to do mining of coking and non-coking coal
reserves but, as noted above, the legislative policy in the CMN
Act does not permit that. The recommendation for allocation
by the Screening Committee to the State PSUs and also the
allocation made to the State PSUs through Government
dispensation route are, therefore, in violation of the provisions
of the CMN Act, as amended from time to time.”
14. In the matter of Manohar Lal Sharma, (2014) 9 SCC 614, (supra), the
Hon’ble Supreme Court held in para 32, as under:-
“32. As far as the first category of coal block allotments is
concerned, they must be cancelled (except those mentioned
in the judgment). There is no reason to “save” them from
cancellation. The allocations are illegal and arbitrary; the
allottees have not yet entered into any mining lease and they
have not yet commenced production. Whether they are 95%
ready or 92% ready or 90% ready for production (as argued
by some learned counsel) is wholly irrelevant. Their allocation
was illegal and arbitrary, as already held, and therefore we
quash all these allotments.”
21
15. A bare reading of the above-quoted passage would make it clear that
the coal blocks were allocated in an arbitrary and illegal manner, in
contravention of the provisions of law; therefore, the Hon’ble Supreme
Court canceled the first category of coal block allotments. The
judgment passed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court would show that the
land acquisition proceedings and awards passed were not touched.
16. The petitioners, in these petitions, have not challenged the award
passed by the Land Acquisition Officer dated 12.8.2011; rather, they
have sought a direction to the respondent authorities to make
payment of adequate and proper compensation with interest @ 15%.
The petitioners have claimed proper compensation; therefore, their
contention with regard to Section 5A of the Act, 1894, would not be
maintainable. They are not firm on their stand with regard to Section
5A of the Act, 1894.
17. With regard to provisions of Section 24 of the Act, 2013, the Hon’ble
Supreme Court in the matter of Indore Development Authority
(supra), in para 366.3, held that the word “or” used in Section 24(2)
between possession and compensation has to be read as “nor” or as
“and”. It is held that the deemed lapse of land acquisition proceedings
under Section 24(2) of the Act, 2013, takes place where, due to inaction
of the authorities for five years or more prior to the commencement of
the said Act, the possession of land has not been taken or
22
compensation has not been paid. In other words, in case the
possession has been taken but compensation has not been paid, then
there is no lapse. Similarly, if compensation has been paid, possession
has not been taken, then there is also no lapse. Para 366.3 reads thus:-
“366.3. The word ‘or’ used in Section 24(2) between
possession and compensation has to be read as ‘nor’ or as
‘and’. The deemed lapse of land acquisition proceedings
under Section 24(2) of the Act of 2013 takes place where
due to inaction of authorities for five years or more prior to
commencement of the said Act, the possession of land has
not been taken nor compensation has been paid. In other
words, in case possession has been taken, compensation
has not been paid then there is no lapse. Similarly, if
compensation has been paid, possession has not been
taken then there is no lapse.”
18. In the present case, the compensation was paid to the petitioners, and
it was accepted by them. And this fact has been pleaded by the
petitioners in writ petitions; therefore, according to the provisions of
Section 24(2) of the Act, 2013, the acquisition proceedings would not
lapse.
19. The award was passed in accordance with the provisions of the Act,
1894, and thereafter, compensation amounting to Rs.113,40,59,363/-
was deposited with the Land Acquisition Officer through the Collector,
Surajpur on 26.11.2013. Thus, the right accrued in favour of
respondent No.2. Respondent No.2 approached the authorities for
mutation and accordingly, a direction was issued in the month of
January 2019 by respondent No. 2 to initiate mutation proceedings.
23
Further, the petitioners could not prove that they are still in possession
of the acquired property.
20. Taking into consideration the above-discussed facts and the law laid
down by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the above-referred cases, no
case is made out for interference.
21. Accordingly, these petitions are dismissed. However, the petitioners
would be at liberty to approach the appropriate authority claiming
therein adequate compensation with interest, if so advised.
