Contact of the HVDC electric transmission line. And how will the
petitioner or his kith and kin be able to use their land after erection
of these dangerous transmission lines on their land. It is therefore
submitted here that the petitioner’s land will become absolutely
unfit for any purpose after erection of the abovementioned
transmission lines.
13. That after publication of the abovementioned public notice
dated 06-07-2013 the petitioner approached respondent no.2 again
in the month of September 2013 and requested him verbally to
consider his case in the light of said public notice and award
compensation for the damage suffered on account of user of
petitioner’s land as well as for the trees standing on them. But
respondent no. 2 expressed his inability and advised the petitioner
to approach superior officers of the Power Grid Corporation.
Thereafter the petitioner approached the authorities of the
Corporation at Alankar Palace, Boring Road, Patna in the month of
January 2014 and again in August 2014 and requested them
verbally to consider his case. Unfortunately the authorities at Patna
also showed their inability in awarding compensation for user of
the petitioner’s land.
14. That in view of the circumstances mentioned above it is
submitted most humbly that the petitioner has a legal right to be
compensated for the loss suffered on account of user of his lands as
well as for removal of trees standing on his lands. Unfortunately
the respondent corporation or any government authorities are not
ready to award compensation for user of the petitioner’s land and
are adamant on allowing compensation for removal of trees only.
15. That in view of the circumstances mentioned above it is
submitted most humbly that a direction from this Hon’ble Court
8
alone can redress the grievances of the petitioner and save him
from the injustice which is being done to him by respondents.
16. That the petitioner has no other equally efficacious alternative
remedy than to move this Hon’ble Court for redressal of his
grievances.
17. That the petitioner has not moved this Hon’ble Court earlier
either for the relief sought for in this writ application or in respect
of the contents thereof.
It is, therefore, prayed that Your Lordships
may graciously be pleased to issue rule NISI
calling upon the respondents to show cause
as to why the prayer made by the petitioner
in paragraph no. 1 of this application be not
granted and after hearing the parties be
pleased further to make the rule absolute
against the respondents by allowing this writ
application and by granting the relief sought
for.
AND
Be pleased further to pass such order/orders
which Your Lordships may deem fit and
proper in the facts and circumstances of this
case.
And for this the petitioners shall ever pray.
